Beary Birthday CCC

  Hi Everyone, my DT make today is for -

Critter Crazy #113

 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.

 

My mind is definitely not on cards, with just two days to get my card done, and with visitors expected, and so many other things to do. Panic stations. When I can't think, I usually go to my digi images, as I have done here. The images are all from Creative Market, Watercolour Bears In The Forest, 2025. I used the fonts - Darling Suttine & Aescudos.

 

In Silhouette, I arranged the images on the base square shape, and then print and cut them, the bears and sentiment twice, to add layers without depth. I had cut the bears with a 1mm border, but on this it seemed a bit too wide, so I took Distress Inks, tea die and vintage photo and went around the image, it gives it a highlight I think.

 

They were then added to the colour layer, which I found in my stash, which matched the tree. All then added to the base card. I have to admit, loving that little bear.

 

 

I hope to see you in the challenge with your Critter.

Lion King CCC

  Hi Everyone, my DT make today is for -

Critter Crazy #112

 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 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.

Snowman

Hi Everyone, I thought I would pop this in here as I haven't done anything to show you, apart from a couple of DT projects for future viewing!

Gill Reed sent me this poem and I thought it too good to let it fly past, so I made a page to show it off, and give you something to smile about - hopefully.

I made the snowman from various pieces of different elements I have in my files.  All elements are put together to make him look like he is, as the poem. If you get my meaning?

She wolf?

Hi Everyone, it's a Friday and from now on it will be my day for my DT card at 

http://qkrstampede.blogspot.com/

I looked online to see what colour wolves were and couldn't believe how many colours there were, in the end I decided to try and colour a "blonde! My sentiment? is because, she, Yep! she's a she! does look like she is in sorrow and thinking, so my card is a sympathy card.

Dandelions

Hi Everyone, I hope you're all OK.

I saw a challenge I hadn't entered for ages, hence today's card. I have seen so many dandelions and daisies looking like jewels on the side of the road, I decided to make something with my digi stamp and here it is. I think it will brighten my Goddaughters day, at least I hope so.

Nature / Chinese New Year

Hi Everyone my DT card today is for

I was born in the year of the Pig and as from February 5th 2019 to January 24 2020 it is the Chinese year of the Pig. Therefore my choice of the Nature element of the challenge has to be about pigs!

I have a Nephew in law whose birthday it is on the 12th, he just made it into the Pig year, so here's his card. I made it in Spring Greens hoping it will be a fresh card for him.
