Bananas?

 Hi Everyone, I have 2 DT cards today, I hope you will be able to visit each of them, this 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 have a lot of animal digital stamps from many designers, and this was one I found by looking for "animals" in my files. It has been ignored for too long. I took it into my Cameo and added 3 layers of the monkey, the background and a sentiment, to which I added a banana frame I made. I printed them all out, then cut them out with my Cameo.  

I coloured the background in different greens and coloured the monkeys top layer and attached it to the other monkey layers and 3D'd glazed the noses, before adding it to the background layer. It was attached to a printed background of banana digital paper which had been attached to a brown layer card. The sentiment was 3D'd then attached to the bottom of the card.

 Just a note, I was told by 2 of you that you use the Reading List, I hadn't even realised it was there or what it was for - duh! SO! You should be seeing me now, even those I haven't visited in maybe years, that I followed and lost. My apologies to you all.

In the Manger

 Hi Everyone here I am with my 2 DT posts today for today this is my second and it's for the new challenge at QKR. Our challenge is now on the 1st and 15th of every month, so you have 2 chances every month to enter the challenge.

We will select two winners each of the weeks 

1 using QKR Stampede  or Eureka Stamps image

 and 1 using any image!

Anything Goes every 1st & 15th of the month

I saw this image at QKR and just had to have it, I think it's so lovely, I wanted to frame it and went looking in my files for a suitable one, I came across this and thought it simple enough to show off the image, I hope so anyway.

I printed the image and the frame and also 2 more layers of the frame and another layer of the image using my Cameo to cut them out. I coloured the image with Distress inks and slight colouring for shadow around the image, also spreading the glow onto the background. I wrote the sentiment using the Cameo and a metallic pen. Attached them to the card and added 3d glaze to the berries and clear sparkle pen to the bow, which had also been layered. I used red pearlised paper to layer the whole top layers onto the card.

Hi Everyone my DT post for

http://themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/

This is such a vast subject it caused me no end of what should I do, this is the result. I saw the sentiment on the web and added a little of my own and a little too much doodling methinks!

A Gamers card

Hi Everyone, my card today was for my Sons' birthday earlier this month, he is a gamer and has been playing Eve on line for years, so for his birthday this year, I decided to go the easy route and download an image from the web, to use on the front of his card. The background is a freebie I had recently, which was perfect for it.

I cut the name plate on the Cameo from mirror card, I was disappointed it had such a large over run on the cutting, but then thought it was sort of "robot -y", I kept the name in the frame and stuck it down then removed the frame and 3D'd it,  hubby thought it was a metal piece I had cut out, and Chris loved it all, even showing his friends, for a 41 year old that's something LOL. I was well pleased with reaction from both of them.

floral Sympathy

Hi Everyone, my make for the Outlawz Sketch challenge today is very, very simple, a couple of layers and one paper and something from my first crafting experiences, to embellish a card - gold stickers! The die cutting took ages though, getting the right sizes to fit LOL. I wanted, so much, to put more on, a die cut or something, but I resisted and the end result is something I am pleased with.

I thought I would add another digital scrapbook page of our weekend away, aren't you thrilled? AND I have a couple more to share - all say Yippee! LOL
