Hi Everyone, my DT cards today is for -
Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale,
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.
I had a card to send to a lovely friend, and decided to make one very different to what I normally do. I found a sketch that helped in my decision. I haven't used a sketch for ages, although I changed it slightly.
Next I found my image and papers in my files. Then sent the image and added text for the sentiment, and a shadow for it, to Silhouette and print and cut 3 images, as well as the sentiment, image below. You may be able to see the red lines of the sentiment shadow on top, they were all then cut together.
I printed the papers from Photoshop, and the top layer, which included "It's your" leaving place to add the sentiment and bird. I cut them to size, then coloured my image with watercolour pencils. They were all then placed onto the white top layer, I had chosen a lovely linen lavender card, this was also placed on top, then the purple card was die cut and the image 3D'd into place on top of that.

I then went back to Photoshop to design an insert. I used the same gingham paper, placed white rectangles on top and added the sentiment (from the web) and a bird on a branch, which I changed the colours of slightly, on the left side. It was printed and cut to size and placed inside the card.
