Does my bum look big

 

I created this card in Craft artist using "More than just feathers" MCS CD

I created the mat and layered backgrounds for the image and both greetings also added shadow brushes

Then added the Zebra image and greetings and printed this straight onto the card.

I finished with cosmic shimmer silver PVA glue for the pearls and added a little silver bow from the Paper mania range.

Footy fan 18th

 

This card I created in Craft Artist I used my own digi kit for the background and coloured it to match the favourite team of the birthday boy. I used a Punch to cut out the sections of the football on the front stamped the middle section and used a cuttlebug font dies for the numbers.

Treasure Island

 I created this card using Craft Artist with the pirate digi kit

I created the bacground from scratch using a shaped square along with the fill tool adding several colours  to give a tropical scene I added thr sun and used the glow effect and placed it behind the trees I then started to build my scene and added the front two pirates which were stickers to card cut them out and stuck them using foam pads

Monkey Business

 
I used Craft Artist to create this card along with The Zoo digi kit. For the background and font part of the greeting I used the special effects and turned it to wood the number two I used the metallic effect on.

I then reprinted the swinging monkey and the number two  to add dimension to the card and finished with a couple of googly eyes/

Beer and Music

 
 


I created this card using Craft Artist and used photo real images of beer caps  the actual image I stamped using Nostalgia pastimes by Papermania. I decided not to colour this in as I liked it just the way it was. I used Black and white card for the two mats and cut these using labels twenty five I used black soot ink on the white mat to bring the focus into the image. I placed the beer caps as a header and footer and printed the greeting under these

Nostalgic Bowls

                               

A card for an avid Bowls fanatic.
I used cream and brown A4 card stock. Papermania Nostalgia Stamps. So trendy M-bossabilities and one of the Fancy tags, Labels fourteen and Vintage photo ink.

I embossed a piece of card to sit down the middle of the card but before embossing it I used my inkpad on one side of the m-bossability to get the mottled effect, I then matted it onto brown card. I stamped out the greeting, the main image and stamped 50 down each side of the card . I cut the image using Labels fourteen and a larger one in brown card for the mat. cut the greeting with the fancy tag. I used the ink on the main image and the greeting before removing them from the die. then put the card together using glue for the main strip down the middle and foam tape for the image and greeting to give dimension to the finished card

Two cards I created in Docrafts digital designer using Tatty Ted and Spellbinders.

I picked the colours for the background mats from the photograph. chose which Ted and greetings I wanted to use placed them appropriately then printed them out along with the coloured sheets for my fancy matts.

I printed out two photos cut out the shaped backing matts and stuck them with foam tape to give height to the card. I embellished the card with a few punched out flowers and gems to match.

A Pirate card created using Craft Artist, a Pirate digi kit and a photo. I used the cut out studio to remove the background from the photo added the digi kit background and embellishments. I used the shadow tool to make the photo pop from the background I added the text

Wiered Science

I created this card from Craft Artist and the Steampunk Inventor digi kit and a few embellishments from one of the other steampunk digi kits. I'm trying to get a look of mad scientist/inventor as the card if a student going to do his PHD in one of the sciences. Hence the bottles and vials on the shelves which i placed and grouped so that I could move them to where I wanted.

I finished by glazing the bottles but this was done as an after thought and after the photos were taken

Fun Fishing

 

This is an A4 card I created the background in craft artist I placed fished onto the paged and used the blend mode to give a watermark effect. The Greeting I used the effects tab and gave this a Glass effect and a slight shadow so that it stood off the page. The image came from MCS Mens CD  I used the Punch to get the shape and did the same with materials from Craft Artist. I added a shadow to these to give a layered effect. The Brother Button I used the same materials and the punch added text.

I printed the backing page the image and the button seperate then put them all together onto an A$ card then I added little google eyes to the fish and diamond Glaze to the button (I would normally add the glaze before I fixed this to the card but it turned out.)

Polka Doodles

 
Polka doodles I just love Nikki Halls Doodles,papers and everything about her quirky CDs.

I used MCS to import the papers for the background Charater to decoupage and a sentiment to personalise the card with a name.
I used MCS for the bleaching effect for the backgroud also the main image once I had got the image I liked. I used the digital punches to create the shapes. Printed these out and cut them decoupaged the main image and name tag.

Polka Doodles

I wanted to do some grunge

What better to use that Polka Doodles Pretty Tuff I love Nikki Halls images and backing papers. I layered two of the papers but use MCS to print the birthday greeting and Footy Fan message. used the same papers again to make the smaller mat but grouped them together before printing also the sentiment I coloured to match the card and printed out the footballer. I used small die around the footballer so had to cut around his foot and lifter out of the die before cutting so he looks like he is running off the shaped mat. I finished with a decoupage football a mixture of fired brick and Black soot distress ink around the edges of the layers
