My latest favourite Bigz Die by Sizzix
Alterations/Tim Holtz
is the Ice Skates
I bought it with the intention of making Christmas cards,
but today made a birthday card.
It has a simple background of a doily and
K & Co Scrapbooking paper edged with a little
Old Paper Distress Ink.
I cut the skates from white mountboard
and painted them with Folk Art Acrylic
'Seamist' colour.
The boot laces are embroidery thread.
The heels and blades were coloured
with Distress Markers. I tried to make
blades shiny by covering them with a layer
of Mod Podge Lustre.
To go with the card, I made a simple
stretch bracelet.
It's made up of Shell and Howlite chips
and a little gold coloured charm.
Hope the recipient will like them.
Thank you for looking :)

Love both of your beautiful projects Sherry, hugs Annette x
The skates look gorgeous in blue - and the shell bracelet is lovely. Someone's going to be a very happy bunny.
Both projects are gorgeous.
I adore the new skate die...and just love what you have done with it Sherry...someone is going to be very lucky to receive it along with the beautiful shell bracelet :) x
Looks like we are both trying to take our creative sides a little further by branching out and selling our art!!!! Love the paper dolls! I saw that you had pinned them on pintrest- i knew they were yours straight away! Your jewellery looks beautiful too. Good luck!!!! Sami x
Oh wow, you are obviously back with a vengeance! Your birthday card is delightful and the bracelet really beautiful. Fab work, Sherry. Jx
Well this just goes to show that images and dies can all be very versatile. Gorgeous Birthday card and I like the bracelet. Hugs Mrs A.
And here is someone who is definitely a very happy bunny!!!
I wasn't sure about this die but having seen it used 'in the flesh' I can really see why you love it. Such a pretty card Sherry I absolutely love it! And the bracelet is very pretty and I wore it when I went out the other night - was very pleased to be able to show it off! Thank you so much for making my birthday so special - and sorry I've only just stopped by to say so, first free afternoon I've had all week!
Hugs, Cindy xx
