PUPPY B-DAY FEATURING SPINNER

 Hi friends!


Playing along with this SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY 
#326 Feature an Animal
(ends 5/26)


and this WE LOVE STAMPING challenge with option 
All Creatures Great and Small 
(ends 6/3)

and this ALPHABET CHALLENGE “B” is for Balls 
(ends 5/28)


I was excited to try these nail art spinners on a card, and this ball is perfect for them! 



A few helpful hints about these:
 *TIPS* The spinners are tiny! Craft tweezers make the job easier, and the best adhesive I found is some of my old stock Ultra Strength Small Clear Adhesive Permanent Dots by Zots / Therm O Web. It’s also helpful to back the die cut item to spin with an additional piece of card stock. Since the spinner is dimensional, raising surrounding images with foam tape distracts from that. Normally you’d want to center the spinner on the reverse side of your object, but if your object is slightly out of round like the red ball shown, it’s better to mount the spinner slightly higher so at rest your object is always balanced. 




Images were stamped in Memento black, colored with alcohol markers, fussy cut and then foam mounted. The sentiment was heat embossed, die cut and foam mounted. Clouds die cuts were ink blended with Distress Speckled Egg blue.

This is fabulous. I have a ball obsessed staffordshire bull terrier. I was searching the undergrowth, nettles and all, yesterday for a ball like this one. She even searched with me, despite the fact that she'd already fetched it out and put it behind me! Thanks for joining my theme at The Alphabet Challenge. Love Dawn x
