Who's looking at Ewe.

Now where has the last 2 weeks gone! I can't even justify doing anything to have made it whizz by so fast either. Time once more for the girls in the Christmas Card Club to show our latest makes. Maureen has chosen the theme of Christmas Critters.  I have gone a bit tongue in cheek with my two cards as the critters are not really known for being Christmassy though they do appear on cards. See what you think.

First Card 
I had this card front saved in my recycle box and these sheep do look rather chic in their Christmas Woolies. I hand stitched a border round them and then mounted onto green cardstock and then a red base card. I was going to leave it at that but kept thinking something was missing.


 Then I had a brain wave and rummaged in my embellishment boxes and found some really small  googly eyes just the right size!! Who's looking at Ewe.


Second card.
Again this was a saved card front in my recycle box  and I gave the Pheasant a Googly eye too!
Mounted onto green cardstock and then onto a white base. I still felt that there needed to be something else on the card so I added the gold silver sticker round the edging.


I only mustered two cards this time as my mind has been on other things and card making has rather taken a back seat at the moment.  I'm off now to see what the other girls have chosen. Hope I have brought a smile to your face though . We could all do with being cheered up right now.

Keep safe and well and Happy Easter wishes to you.

Hugs

Hi Mrs A, the first card is brilliant. I love those sheep and their googly eyes, such fun and the addition of the eye to the Pheasant gives him a fabulous expression.
I know what you mean about time whizzing by - 'busy doing nothing' seems to be my theme at the moment too.
Stay safe and have a lovely Easter,

Clever upcycling Valery. Those sheep are so much fun and the googly eyes really set them off. Simple stitching is an easy way to add detail too. Keep safe hugs Zoe x

Karen McAlpine said...

Super cards! I was thinking of starting on my Christmas cards too. I haven't thought about a design yet. I really like the critter theme. Very good idea. I was thinking about a Scandinavian theme for which I have a stamp set. But not sure yet. Thanks for the cute ideas.

Mac Mable said...

You sure did bring a smile to my face and your first card made me laugh out loud. A great idea to add the eyes on both cards and as always fabulous use of re-cycling x.

Carol L said...

I absolutely LOVE those funny sheep with the googlie eyes and the sentiment is so punny and perfect! It totally cracked me up and I can use a good laugh anytime nowadays! LOL Love the pheasant remake too, what a great idea to re-putpose those wonderful cards and share them again!

I love those sheep and they look so cozy. The eyes gave them a stunned look and it is so cute! The colors on the pheasant are beautiful and the addition of the gold made your card so elegant.

Greta said...

You certainly did give me a smile, Mrs. A! The first card is such a kick & your adding the eyes was a stroke of genius! Love the lines you added on the second card!

I love the Christmas Ewes and how you made a recycled card look like an authentic handmade card. Great fun with the eyes. What did you use to glue them down?
