Birds & Blooms CCC

 

  Hi Everyone, number 1 of my DT cards today is for -

Critter Crazy

 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.

 

I really didn't know what to do for the challenge, I have lots of animal images, not so many stamps. However, I was going through my files to see what I could make and came across this beautiful digital paper, not only that, but it came with framed images too. Just what I needed, and I thought the colour mix so very pretty. That was easy enough, but I couldn't decide on how to use them, so a sketch was used to help me out. Although now I can't find which it was, so sorry, if I find it I will add here.

I have left the sentiment off for when I decide which occasion to send it.

Hi Everyone, one of 2 my DT cards today was for -

QKR Stampede - Challenge #467

      Edited to add:  We are sad to announce that this will be our last challenge for an indefinite period.  The QKR Stampede and Eureka Stamps brands are up for sale and, until a new buyer is found, the challenges will be on suspension.  Neither can QKR Stampede/Eureka Stamps sponsor any outside challenges until a new buyer takes over since there is no website available for viewing or choosing the prize images.

I am, however, still posting the card I did for the Challenge.

A simple card today, just some Peas and a Pea background! I  thought this sentiment would be great for a masculine card.

I took the image and dp into my Silhouette and print and cut, cutting 4 of the peas with a tiny border around them. Then I coloured the peas with markers, a change from DI's. After colouring, I attached the 4 layers together and added the image to the background layer, which I had layered onto a piece of card. The "pea" background paper was also layered onto the same card, leaving a narrow border on each. 

Like I said, very simple, but fun.

Hi Everyone, my card today is for the Dragons Lair FB colouring challenge, we have been given a wonderful elephant and this is my take on the image and colouring.

The shame is that as it was a miserable rainy day the colours haven't come out in the photo. I thought I would share it anyway as he's too cute not too.

middle paper I designed in PS, trying to match the frame of the image. Background paper and scallops coloured to match the frame. Seems they are too pale to show up properly!
