Throw paint? CCC

 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 had been wanting to use this fun painter for a long while, but could never think what to do, so here is what I decided for him today. I saw the sentiment on the web and thought it's perfect for him.

I added DO's to my glass mat, sprayed it with water and pressed the card to it, until it was covered. It was then cut out with a die. I took the image and sentiment into Silhouette, printed it out and cut around 3 images of each. The bear was coloured with DO's. The bear's cheek already had a circle, it gave me the idea to drop paint onto his hat and overalls and the sentiment also. Well! the sentiment says throw paint at it! I hope this makes you as happy as it made me.

Anything Goes every 1st & 15th of the month

 

I saw this wonderful Angel and thought him perfect for a Christmas card to send to a friend of mine. She loves her Angels. I cut the layer with the computer generated verse, the Angel, and the rectangle from watercolour card with my Cameo, as you know I hate fussy cutting! Then coloured the background of the smaller rectangle with DO's and splotted some silver ink onto it. 

 

The separate Angel was coloured with different coloured gold inks and 3D layered onto the background. The both were then layered onto silver card and laid onto the layer with the verse. 

 

I went around the layer with silver ink and laid it onto a silver base. All then attached to the main card base. A couple of gems and I thought enough, and kept it fairly simple.

I'm sorry about the quality of the photos, it was an awful rainy day when I took them.

This shows the shine of the gold ink.

Halloween poem

 Hi Everyone, I had this poem sent to me and I had to share it, but first I had to "enhance it" with many designers images. I haven't added them here, but if you would like to know who designed anything, give me a shout. I hope Gill likes the images. Yes! This is another poem by my good friend Gill Reed, who is so good at putting poems together, see others HERE.

I hope you all Enjoy Your Halloween.

 

Christmas Gnomes

Hi Everyone, I have done a lot of DT cards of late and now, in a what the heck do I do now mode! Because of this, I'm on a roll with digital, only because I can't think of anything to do otherwise! 

 I decided to make a start on Christmas cards and I wanted a frame, so went looking through my files and found this frame which I thought suited the images and colours of the digital kit I wanted to use.  I arranged them onto the frame.  This and the Gnomes were then added to the Cameo, where they were printed out and cut, then the Gnomes were 3D'd onto the frame. Using some found cut out poinsettia leaves, from another project, I added them too. The lanterns were 3D glazed and so were the berries. I also added red glitter around the frame, all then added to the Kraft card. 

It's a shame the details don't show up much in the photo, it's much nicer in real life. I have to look at some stamps to get myself going again.

Scrapbook page

 Hi Everyone, something a little different today, a digital scrapbook page I did for a challenge and then couldn't get into the site. Anyhow, here are the Great Great Granchildren of my eldest brother. I was sent the photo and couldn't resist using it for the "challenge". My privacy browser wouldn't let me in to the site, I have to find a way around it. 

I followed the template, adding little touches to make it a little different. I haven't done a page for a long while and really enjoyed doing it.

Jungle Baby?

 Hi Everyone, my card today was requested by a neighbour, her granddaughter is expecting a baby in a few weeks. My neighbour had a hand operation recently and as a card maker, couldn't make it herself. She came over, and I showed her a few images and stamps etc, for her to choose then we got on with designing it, with 99% of her input, it was her card after all. 

The theme of her granddaughter for the baby boy she is expecting is, Jungle! Beige and cream. I found this old 2003 image, Yep! I keep 99% of my images, so have a "few" digital images. Anyhow, I die cut the image, the balloons and their "shadows" also the frame with my Cameo, then layered all the images and frame, (I cut 3 of each).

The frame was added to the printed background onto the card, then the Jungle image was added to hang over the frame, the balloons were layered and added behind the printed and cut balloons. It took us over 3 hours to design, cut and for her to take it home with her. Although in that time I had finished another card she had brought for a birthday this weekend. It was so nice to have someone to enjoy crafting with and, we had fun too.

Vase of flowers

 Hi Everyone, a post from me today that isn't scheduled weeks or months in advance. I'm hoping after what's been happening in my life, I can now get back to normal!

Anyhow, my SiL was due a birthday and with my mojo missing and still not feeling 100%, my card today is cased from the brilliant Loll Thompson, from here. I knew my SiL would like the flower in the vase, as she is a remarkable flower arranger and loves to have flowers in a vase around the house.

I was gifted some wonderful vases stamps from my blog friend Hetty some time ago, and used the round one, which I stamped and coloured with DI's. One of my dies was used to cut the leaves, and I used the die negative to stencil the leaves onto the card with DO's. I die cut the border and attached it to the card, placing the leaves and vase together onto the border die cut. A sentiment was then stamped and the whole layer was 3D'd onto the main card. I found a lovely sentiment stamp for the insert and off it went, luckily my SiL liked it.
