    Hi Everyone my DT make today is for

We Love Stamping

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

All Creatures Great & Small

 

I am still struggling with my card making, but managing to get some done, I gotta, the family are waiting for their birthday cards. This is for another GNephew, full of fun boy, that I thought would give him a laugh or a smile? 

I loosely followed this sketch. 

 

 I found an old fun digi stamp, and went to my Silhouette to print and cut 3 layers, I managed to get 3 layers of sentiment on the same cut. So much easier than fussy cutting!

Next I coloured the pelican with DI's, sadly the yellow colours of the bird haven't come as original in the photo. Anyway, he and the sentiment were glued together. I tried painting a background, twice, a complete disaster, so gave up and used a digi paper. 

He needed something else, I thought, so added a setting sun die and some birds, ready to roost. It was done, but what a struggle! I think he turned out OK in the end.

 Hi Everyone, my card today is for 

I really had to gather images for this subject, but in the end I'm quite pleased with the result. I found backgrounds that went together. I found a digi stamp and a relevant cut file with the letter C for my son's name. His birthday is in a few days, he won't see this as he doesn't view my blog, he loves Space games, so it had to be for him.  Well, I think it's OK for a 49 year old. 😉  I've been good and not added his age this year. I wonder if he’ll notice.    

I planned the design in Design Space in Silhouette, I added the sentiment with a font that I thought were "space" shape letters. Next I print and cut everything. 

I coloured the spaceman and planet with DI's, and added silver glitter pen to the tank, helmet, stripes, and belt. Then added 3D glaze to the visor of his helmet and the single planet. I also added it to parts of the rocket, stars, and the blast.

Then glued everything together.

This was our Acer this morning, as the rising sun was peeking over the trees, with a reflection from the conservatory glass, on the first frosty lawn of the year. It's already lost a lot of leaves.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month

Use Pink - a little or a lot

I decided to make a digital card as a former work colleague has just had the news she has a malignant cyst in her breast. I thought I would combine both for this post. I will print and layer the card and send it to her, I have been told she is quite pragmatic about her cyst.

I used the beautiful image toc 007-DS4J from Digitalstamps4joy

papers are from a Tattered Lace free download

the beautiful sentiment is from Create with TLC

Bath time

Hi everyone, my card today is for the Digistamps4joy Progressive challenge. I love this image, she's is Sooooooo relaxed! I had great fun putting this together.

I coloured the image digitally, 

embossed the green layer with a bubbles Scruffy Little Cat EF,

added bath soap etc image by Trina Clark, to the pink layer, 

which I duplicated a few times and used an overlay blend to it. 

I added a 3D towel by Shelleys Images, I found in my files and a little gem too.

I used the bath paper and sentiment, 

I also used the paper and another sentiment in the insert all from Create with TLC,

I printed them all out and layered them onto black paper.

Bike thanks

Hi Everyone, well I think I am getting back to normal now after all that happened last week! who would think a few days away would cause so much upheaval in time?

My card today is for the Digistamps4joy FB progressive challenge. A really great image, that would have been wonderful for a scrapbook page IF! I had taken photos of all those wonderful wheat fields last week. Anyhow, I decided to make a tag card. I laid it out and coloured it in PS and sent it to the Cameo to cut. Then added a die cut bike free from a magazine last month which I coloured with SN markers, and a Die'sire thank you die. I added the bike, as I could see someone riding through the countryside alongside the fields, I'm such a romantic LOL.

Vellum?

Hi Everyone, my card today is very simple and is for the progressive challenge at the Digistamps4joy FB page. We have had a lovely floral corner digital image, which I, for some reason, wanted to have as a white embossed stamp on vellum. I found a way in PS and I am thrilled with the result. I can now have a digi "stamped" in white onto any background, any of you want to know how, give me a shout!

I used a CAS design, as I wanted the focus to be on the stamp and the glittered vellum! Both of which are digital. After printing, I cut them out and layered them onto the base paper and added a sentiment using the same effects as the main image. then added pearls to hold down the "vellum".

This closeup shows the "glittered vellum"!
