Running Man TMR Hobbies

 Hi Everyone, my DT post today is for 
What a wide subject ay? My card is for running. So many of the family love running for miles and hubby's great nephew is a marathon runner, definitely a huge hobby for him, after his teacher work. So I brought an image out of the dark and made this for him.
 
My mind is certainly in slow motion, so I decided to use a sketch for help, but turned it upside down. I chose this one from the Outlawz, from June 2022, but the file name is Nov.27?  
I went looking for digi papers, and found these, I picked them to make the sketch and colours, no Idea why I chose these colours? 
 
Anyhow, I print and cut them out, and inked around the edge of each with black ink. They were then attached to the base paper, as per the sketch and placed onto the base card.  The runner was printed out and was die cut, then coloured with DI's to match the papers, I decided to colour just him and leave the background as is. 
 
He was placed onto the layered papers with 3D pads and so was the button. I stamped the sneakers and coloured them with the same colours as the runner. It all sounds so simple, but I spent an absolute age on this card. I hope the nephew likes it.

Lion King CCC

  Hi Everyone, my DT make today is for -

Critter Crazy #112

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.
 
 
I was going through my birthday card list and saw I had to make one for our neighbour. He has been an absolute gem for me since my loss, mowing my front lawn and putting out and getting in my rubbish/garbage bins. 
 
I chose this lion as my neighbour is a Leo, I printed a base for him with the title. I stamped him onto the printed title piece and proceeded to colour him with DI's, I also added some sky and grass, now what do I do?
 
I then thought, he's the king of the jungle, so I went and had a search of paper and digi paper to suit with a crown on it, nope, couldn't find any. So into Photoshop and made my own pattern, with an image I had on file. I printed it out, my brain in slow motion, now what, then I remembered I had an cut file with crowns on it. It wasn't enough for me, so I added a Leo sign and word, then attached them to the crown and text. I cut it out twice with red pearlised paper then backed it with a die cut circle of gold card. 
 
I backed the crown paper and the lion, with red card and then placed them onto the base card. Done, what a struggle. I hope he likes it.
