Hello Nomad friends. I was one of Di's lucky winners of the mega Christmas draw at the Snippets Playground and I won a Marianne Designs Meercat die set. Thanks so much Di. Perfectly awesome and so so perfect for scraps. Marianne Designs also have a twofer challenge so I decided to use my new dies and some scraps and make a couple of cards for some occasions that are just over the horizon.
Yeah, Meercat cuteness. So happy with these. Although it wasn't til I uploaded the picture that I noticed I'd cut one of the 'meercat mounds' to the panel, and one to the card base. I was aiming for the same but different so I suppose I have that.
I used gold card bases and the meercat mound is a circle of pizza box I painted with gold Aztec paint and cut in half. Half each guys and gals. Found lots of brown scraps for the Meercats. Some pink and blue for their collars and red for the heart. OK, scraps excess....... all those little dots came from the heart die cut!! I think I need scraps anonymous.....
And then there's this. OMG. How cute are those baby meercats?? Mothers Day in Norway is the 2nd Sunday in February, so this will be great for the MIL. Although thinking about it I may need to add another couple of babies cos my man is one of five siblings. Bwahahahahaahha. The patterned paper, heart die, acrylic stars and rectangle die are all Marianne Designs. The Verdens Beste (world's best) is a Kort og Godt die.
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz
