Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for -
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
Really fun idea to look at your older cards and update them!

Oh, very clever of you! Love both cards and bravo to you for casing yourself! I do think gators and crocs are getting more popular. I've seen more on cards lately. I tasted fried alligator once. No thanks! haha
