Travel TMR #142

Hi Everyone our challenge today is to do with travel and as it hasn't been possible to do much of it this year for all the obvious reasons!  I think a dream travel will do for me, so I'm off to somewhere that is green today!

I have had this image a long while and bought him when the designer was closing down. I love the "bumptious" image. With the theme as Travel, he had to be used. I used the embossing folder in my subscription magazine, for the background. I found the tent in my files, (he's off glamping), the suitcase I made in Silhouette, so simple, it took about 4 rectangles to make it. I found the fabulous sentiment online, it's a quote by W. C Fields. 

I really wanted to try and brayer the EF, but I didn't have a brayer, so I asked hubby if he had one in his tools - Yep! a wallpaper roller, which we used to press the edges of wallpaper when hanging the pieces - so many years ago. It's only one and half inches, but cleaned up, it worked a treat, especially as my inks are only the one inch size. Hubby saved me a few pounds there!

Three Kings

Hi Everyone, my DT card for Deedee's Digis today is for the sponsored challenge at The Crafters Cafe Challenge which is for a song inspired card, as you can see, my song is actually a Carol, it just jumped into my mind, I expect, because I am becoming aware of the days being crossed off to Christmas!!!!!!!!

I used 2 of Deedee's kits to make this shaped card. They are so very good with the choices in them, they mix and match and you can even colour your own images and use the sentiments provided.

I used the "Merry Christmas" kit for the digi paper and resized the label for the card also "Wise Men" of which I used the ready coloured image, I added a pale holly overlay over the DP. then added a music score of the We Three Kings, I added a rolled corner for the score. The sentiment came from the "Snowman Tags" kit I used my Cameo to print & cut out the shaped card, Wise Men and label and star, I 3D'd the elements and added gold Stickles and 3D gloss on their eyes.

Owl Love You

Hi Everyone, here's a little owl with a different shape card. Inspiration for this is from Dizzy Designs.

I used Photoshop shapes to make the template and "clipped" papers to the shape, then printed it all out and layered them on to white card. Quite a different colour combo don't you think, I love it.

I coloured the owl in PS and layered and added it to the centre and then added Stickles to the flowers and 3D gloss to the flower in her hair! also to the beak and eyes.  Then added Papermania 3D Pearl effect. This will be for my lovely patient hubby.

I'm entering this into the Flowers or Hearts challenge on The Stamping Boutique Facebook page.
