Chick Birthday card CCC

  Hi Everyone, the first of my 2 DT projects today is for -

Critter Crazy

 Anything Goes but they MUST feature a critter as the main focus 

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 

Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.

 

 

I had a card to make for my Great Niece, so took the opportunity to make it for the challenge too. I had this fabulous chick in my files, so took it into Silhouette and cut around it. Then I chose a floral Spring paper for her and cut the 6 from it. Next, I printed out the sentiment and her name. I thought it needed something else, so used a heart die and coloured the hearts in matching colours, using left over hearts to add randomly. The cut out 6 was added to the base card and the chick was added with an action wobble, to give it some fun for her. Next, I designed an insert with 2 more of the chicks from the set.

this is the wobble action, sorry there is so much black around it, but I rotated the video and then couldn't remove the black. I'll keep trying!

Male CAS card TMR

 Hi Everyone, my second DT card today is for 

Looking through my stamps for male images, I found a few of sport, I hadn't used the cycle stamp, so that's what it would be.  

Next what design, I have said for a while I've been minus mojo, so I decided to use a sketch to help and thought this one quite different, that would certainly get me going. It's by MFT #519

What was I going to use for the triangle? I went through my paper pads and came across this, not a usual colour for male cards, I thought, but what the heck. I measured the bottom at 4inches, then measured the sides until they met at the centre. That was it, I cut the triangle. Then stamped the bike and embossed it. The stamp came with sentiments and I mixed them to get them the effect. A large die was used to cut around it, so plenty of shifting it to fit. I then blended the sides with DO ink. 

I laid the triangle and sentiment onto the base card to see the effect, but I didn't think it looked finished, even though it's a CAS card. So I went into my Silhouette, then looked online to find a free cycle helmet and cycle gloves to fit inside the triangle. Two layers were cut and glued together, then attached to the triangle. Although you can't see it, I also embossed a triangle around the card triangle.  In the end I was happy, I think I may have to start using sketches again to get my mojo going.
