Winter Robins CCC

   Hi Everyone, number 1 of my DT makes 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.

 

With Christmas on the horizon, my card today is a - Yep! You've guessed, a Christmas card. I went looking through my files, as I have a mass of digital stamps. I found this lovely image and decided to use it. Then took it into Silhouette to cut it out, no fussy cutting for me, as you well know. I cut 3 layers, then using inks I coloured the top layer, next I added sparkle pen to the snow in the image.

It was only then I thought about a design, I looked through some sketches I have saved, and decided this one from Atlantic Hearts could be adapted to suit. 

I cut a layer to add to the base card, then lightly drew the oval, onto the base card, to blend it. After blending, I placed the layer on top, but didn't like the plainness, so used a snow embossing folder, then attached it to the base card. The image was 3D'd over the oval. I found a die sentiment that fitted into the space, backing it with red card. I'm quite pleased how it turned out

Off The Edge TMR

Hello Everyone, my post today is for the

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

I decided to make a card for Father's Day for my hubby and use an image I've not used before. I also did something I've not done before, that was to part cut a die. (Off the edge) I did it 4 times, before it was right, well you have to don't you LOL. After I managed to get the image cut out, I added another circle to layer it on, 3D'd the girl, glossed the water and bubbles, added Dovecraft 3D pearl effects. I then added the insert, I know hubby will enjoy the joke.

Please go and see what my wonderful teamies have done, they are all so VERY imaginative .
