Vulture ready? CCC

  Hi Everyone, 2 DT cards today this is for -

Critter Crazy

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter...

I was randomly looking through my files, as I do once in a while, unless searching for something, when I came across this Vulture in my cutting files, great I thought for my DT card today. I hadn't used it, although I've had it since 2015, but don't know where from! Anyhow, I took him into my Silhouette, and die cut him, as I show on the mat layout and cut shapes below. 

I went looking for some paper and found this mini digital kit "Playful" by Gina Cabrera DigitalDesignEssentials. An old kit from 2013. I also went looking for a sketch for an idea on layout and found one that I liked from MFT. 

I bordered the colourful paper onto black card, arranged the pieces and attached them to the main card. The sentiment was computer generated and print and cut out, then also bordered with black card. The Vulture, after placing the pieces together, was 3D'd onto the card. Nuvo Crystal Glaze was added to his beak and toenails, not that you can see it, but it looks good in real life. I also added some white pen to add highlighted areas, not sure that it worked? I thought it is a fun card for someone getting on, as a lot of my family are. Even my baby Nieces are over 50! Where has time gone? The Vultures are awaiting!

 
these are the pieces of card I used, I am able to "die" cut them on the same mat.

these are the pieces after cutting.

I can so easily be persuaded to join the Snippets Playground Challenge, but I am happy to, anyway.

I do not have the patience you do on that machine, you work miracles on it. He's pretty cool looking even if he is a vulture, ha! And I would have flipped the sketch as well. :) Love the big painty dots too. I have to wonder what you put inside tho... Hehehe. Happy weekend, xoxo

You made me smile when I looked atthis card!
Great colors and wonderful background.

Carol L said...

Your work with the Silhouette is just genius! This vulture reminds me much of myself some days LOL Cute and fun card!

Brenda said...

Haha, reminds me of a card I made years and years ago with my Cricut! A vulture makes a great "older" birthday card. Love the fun colors you have on this one. That background is so fun and cheerful. Love your vulture, I love the white gel pen highlights on him. Can't see the glaze on beak and nails, but I bet in person it is perfect! Such a fun card for sure! Yep, that is how I do my mat with my cardstock when cutting out a layered image. Makes it much faster cutting! I gave up on time, it just goes by me so dang fast, that I don't even know it went by! LOL Hugs, Brenda

Hi Faith

I'm back to say THANK YOU for coming to play in the Snippets Playground.

I love that regular playmate Vicky invited you over to play. So, once you’ve finished skipping or playing hopscotch, please make your way to the rope ladder to the Treehouse for refreshments! Hugs, Sarn xxx
