I had an order for a Christmas card from a daughter which had to include a Yorkshire Terrier and a Maltese Terrier, I knew I had a Meljens Designs Yorkie image, which has 2 together, as only one was required I edited the second one out, I hope I've not broken any rules by doing this. The Maltese dog I got off the web. The little girl is a digi stamp called "Waiting for Santa to come" by Inger Harding.
I added a creamish background paper, sorry don't know by who, I've had it for years and years, before I thought of saving the name, then "burned" it in PS, I had the idea from a Victorian Christmas card. I then coloured and shaded the girl, the Yorkie and Maltese in PS and printed it straight onto the card. I printed more images and 3D'd them, then Stickled her pinafore. A clean and simple card, just hope she likes it, as it is a bit different, not so Christmassy really.
Another card, you wait for one and 2 come along together LOL
This is another order for a Christmas card, I don't 'alf get some strange requests! This had to include the saying "Siân get in the basket" !!!!!! Yes my reaction was the same!!!!! It seems it is a family joke. SO, getting myself into mojo mood!!! quite difficult, I looked through my images and found this TGIF digi stamp by Broken box. I love her and have used her a few times always with the quote "Thank God I'm Fabulous" which is part of the digi, it wouldn't have worked this time though, so left it off. I paper pieced her dress with a starry paper. I found a cat basket I had a few years ago from DAISIE and was a freebie saved as epellnovexclgift. I changed the blanket by paper piecing in PS and adding a snowflake paper coloured green. The text paper is by Cuddly Buddly, so is the pink plain paper which I added a holly "brush" pattern, again in PS. I mounted the digi onto silver mirror card after giving her lots of Stickles and a ribbon in her hair, it's not as dark as it looks, but does make an impact.
Well that's all for today, a lot to take in I know, hopefully I shall be back in a day or so, but have things to make for the church Christmas fair and I have not started - it's on Saturday! will I be able to make all I want, I don't expect so, but anything would bring in a few bob as they say!
