CCC Reindeer

  Hi Everyone, my DT make today is for -

Critter Crazy #116

 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.

It's near to Christmas, so a reindeer was chosen, I stamped it onto a sheet of card, took it into my Silhouette and cut it out. I then coloured it in DI's. For the background I stamped the trees and die cut them, then coloured the snow.

Next I coloured the sky on the base card with DO's, stamped the sentiment in white and embossed with clear embossing powder. The tree layer was added to the base card and the reindeer, to which I had added baubles to his antlers for a bit of fun. It was placed onto the tree layer with 3D pads for the body and I glued the legs.

Trees & Leaves WLSC mid month

     Hi Everyone my DT make today is for 

We Love Stamping

This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme from Emma

Trees & Leaves

 

 

On one of the hottest days of the year, 34C 93f, I decided to go into my North facing craft room, and craft in the shade, I should have just left things as they were and just read. 

 

However, I made 4 cards, 2 went into the bin, #3 I spoiled by smudging my hand over the ink, grrr, so my card today is my offering, but under the circumstances....

 

Anyhow, I shaded DO's over a piece of card, then using a leaf stencil I went over it with an alcohol wipe. Next I stamped the leaves around the left and top and stamped a sentiment into the space left. Even that I got wrong! I think I should have used the colour of the leaves, oh! well. I then clear embossed the sentiment. 

 

Next I placed the stamped piece onto a matching piece of paper and then added a pink layer with leaf shapes. The paper layers were edged with DI's in darker colours.  I then added tiny pink gems. It turned out OKish, I think in the end. 

 

Even then, the photo misshaped the card, taken twice, then straightening, it has made the sentiment look wonky! Told you I should have read instead.
