Bunny smile CCC

    Hi Everyone, my DT card 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.

 

I am trying to use up digital stamps I haven't used before, but it's going to be a long road as I have sooooo many. Anyhow, I found this cute bunny, and decided to use it for a GG Niece birthday. I looked for some birthday paper in my files and this came up. I added a black birthday greeting to the paper and printed and die cut it, then attached it onto a die cut paper layer to match the printed paper. They were attached to the card base.

Next I took the bunny into Silhouette and print and cut it three times. I coloured the bunny with markers and 3D'd the hand and feet pieces, it was added to the paper layers. I then added 3D glaze to the bunny's eyes and the camera lens.

The negative and smile word, I designed in Silhouette, and cut it from black card twice, I then painted them with sparkle pen.

Autumn birthday

 Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well. My card today is for one of my SiL, she is a card maker too, so I like to do something different for her. When my brother and she visited last month, I showed her how to stamp, (she uses, and very well too, Photoshop and her Silhouette, as I do.) She hadn't seen stamping done, so my card had to be stamping and die cut.

I wanted autumnal colours as she loves these colours. I decided unusually to decide on the colour of the card, before stamping and colouring. I stamped an envelope and a "sent with love" with the same colour ink as the darker orange card. Then stamped the flowers and coloured them with DI's, to match the card. They don't show very well, but in a certain light they do. If that makes sense.

 

Next was the design, I felt keeping it simple would show the  images off. So die cut the background cards and as a bow was included with the stamped images, I cut one to place beneath the group of flowers on the bottom. The envelope flowers were fussy cut, you know I love fussy cutting, ugh!  It had to be done. Then die cut the single flowers and leaves. Next, I stamped and die cut the sentiment and shaded it to match.

Mood Board WLSC

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping 

the theme this month being "Anything stamped, option, Mood Board"

 

Such lovely colours, which I seem to have preempted in my last post!   I had forgotten I had used them! Then went to do some editing and found circles and colours in almost the same colours, I must like them, I think!

Anyhow, onto this months card, that I really struggled with, funnily enough. However it all came together when I had only a little time for crafting. I started by using a die cut circle as a mask, and layering it, by inking it a few times, with some mood board colours and stamping a text stamp to ink over them. I had already stamped a few versions of the butterfly and coloured it with Pixie Powder, a few months ago, when making a card for a friend, then went with another version of it for her. 

Before adding the butterfly, I decided to emboss over the circles, with a butterfly and flower embossing folder. Then stamped the sentiment and added 2 butterflies with 3D pads. The layers were attached to the base blank card.
