6 year old card

Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well. My post today is a card for my Nieces Granddaughter. She was 6 last week. The card was another that wasn't received, so I thought. Then I had a photo of Dorothy and her card, which was a lovely thing to do by her Mum. I don't know what is happening with the post, it was always so reliable to get there in just a day or two.

Anyhow, I used a digital image and decided to add a floral dress for her to wear, the image and the dress reminded me of so much of little Dorothy. As I was in Photoshop to add the dress paper, I decided to colour her and add a background. I made the background with a designer paper and added the text and 6, with a digital garden stamp, which I also coloured digitally.  I haven't done PS colouring for so long, it was a nice change. 

Next, I took her into Silhouette and print and cut 3 images and layered them together. I also cut the 6.  I added the background to a matching shade of card, then the image and number were added. The insert was based on the front, adding the same images, the verse I found at Craftsuprint.

  I added 3D glaze to the 6, balloon, the heart, and candle flame on the cake, her eyes, and her shoes. Hopefully you can see here.

Little lion

 It's LEO time and I have 2 lion cards, one a DT card in a few days. This little lion is for my Niece's grandson. The image is an old one, and I haven't used it before. I am ashamed that so many digi stamps have been left in files, not even looked at. Something I am trying to rectify.

Anyhow, I print and cut 2 layers of the lion and the circle, with 3 layers of the 3, in Silhouette and coloured him in DI's. Next I blended the edge of the circle, to match the papers I had chosen and die cut. I also printed the title of the card.  They were all then attached to the main card. I used this MFT sketch to help with the design, not followed to the letter as such.

A Perfect Pear!

Hi Everyone, today's card is for a challenge that I was told about, the theme being "Fruit". I had SO many choices, but in the end went for an image I love. I MAY even do another, it made such a change of subject.

Thank you card

Hi Everyone, I have a thank you card for you today, a work colleague asked me to make a card for her neighbour who she likened to "Neighbourhood Watch", she had given them her keys and they kept an eye on her dogs and her house while she was in work, no one could approach without them knowing. She asked if I could do something, as they were like Columbo and Miss Marple. This is what I came up with, I had to include her 2 Yorkie dogs didn't I?

The Detectives are coloured in PS and I paper pieced their coats in PS with camouflage DP, (I changed the saturation for the man.) The path is DP which I changed the perspective of, printed it all out with the Detectives twice. 3D'd the images, added a tag with twine, layered onto matching card. Added 3D gloss to the binoculars and the magnifying glass.
