Handmade Cards at Mrs H's Crafty Corner: Naughty Ants

I love a picnic, especially one that my Dad has packed, he pulls wine, chicken, cheese the whole works out of his hamper everytime. They have a proper wicker hamper that has been on every day trip and holiday I can remeber and even my kids get excited when they see it out in the kitchen. It means we will have a good day. I therefore could not resist this little card. The ants rumming off with the picnic basket seems quite apt as last time my husband and I went on a picnic one of the kids sat us next to an ant nest.

There is a video on my YouTube Channel Mrs H's Crafty Corner

Card Making Supplies

I begun by stamping, colouring and die cutting the images I the 2 sets

Onto another piece of A5 Card I blended Broken China and then used the stencil and the salty Ocean to produce the clouds

Onto a sheet of A5 card I blended half in mowed lawn and the other half in Cracked Pistachio. there were then die cut using the landscape dies.

Onto the clouds I heat embossed Happy Birthday and glued this onto the blue background.

I trimmed the path off the windmill and glued this onto the top.of one of the hills and then glued the path into the front of the hill. To offer dimension.

On another piece of hill I die cut the slider. The ants and picnic basket were glued onto the negative

Foam tape and a penny were adhered on the wrong side

The panel was cover in foam tape before being adhered to the card base.

The bears were arranged and the final strip of grass applied with foam squares. This panel was then adhered onto an A4 Card base using double sided tape.
