An apple and a crab! 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 had designed this card design a couple of months ago and forgot about it, then came across it and decided it had to be made. I cut the apple and the crab from white 300gsm card and coloured them with markers. The colours are not good in the photo, but they are different reds with an orange. I then added and glossed their eyes. Next the joke was printed, that came from somewhere, using a fun font, and it was die cut. I added the apple and the crab with 3D stickers, as if the crab was holding the apple. They were then added to the base card.

apple - Printable Cuttable Creatables
crab - front crab - Printable Cuttable Creatables
insert crab - Marisa Lerin
markers - Spectrum Noir
font - Helwa
gloss - Nuvo Crystal Glaze

 

 

You want to know the answer? You probably know it anyway. Here it is, the photo wasn't too good as it was taken in bright sunlight. I added the apple to the centre of the crab, then added a fun quote by me.

 

  

You may remember me saying about the magpie shooing our Green Woodpecker from the garden? Well, one of them has come back and keeps coming back, it makes us so happy to see him feeding well on the ants in the lawn. Here he is, not good photos, my phone isn't good at zooming with good quality, but it's a record for us.
