Crocodile thanks CCC

   Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for -

Critter Crazy

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.
 
I made a “Thank You” card in 2009, before I started blogging, that I came across looking through my photos recently, and thought I would case it, adding the sentiment of my 2009 card. This is the original card, an awful photo.
 

I decided on a landscape 5 x 7 inch card.

Looking through more files, I found images that would work. I placed the images and the sentiment onto a card size base in Photoshop. Then they were printed out, cutting the background to fit the card base, and then fussy cutting 2 layers of the crocodile, one of the whole crocodile, and one cutting the mouth area. Those teeth were far easier than I thought. The layers were 3d'd, gluing the base of the crocodile to the background, so the top of the crocodile stood out more. I then added wobbly eyes after attaching it to the base card. I added a simple insert saying "Thank You".

Crocodile - I've had it for many years and don't have an identity (around 2016).
The background is made up of papers from Pixelscrapper blog hop June 2013
the water rings - Kimberkatt-AfterTheRain-ripple
bottom paper, water - dhariana_pond_life_pp (3)
sky - ddd-earthday paper 2
cats tails - emjay_PSBT_PondLifeele03
 the cliff - Gina Jane Lighthouse cliffs
