Button Up



Hi All,

This week over at Incy Wincy Challenge Blog it is the 'Button Up' Challenge.
We were to use an image provided by Aspire To Thrive Children's Charities Inc. shop formerly known as Incy Wincy. I have chosen the dog which can be purchased through our online charity shop which is: www.aspiretothrive.com.au/shop .
The image I chose to work with for this challenge is the Dog.

I started with a fawn coloured cardstock and added a forest green layer paper as the first background layer. I was a little stumped as to what to do next and came across some textured brown and light green papers. I cut the brown to quarter the size it was and found it to be perfect for the bottom half of the card and added the lighter green layer on the top half.

I went around the edge of the forest green layer with my green metallic pen. I coloured in the outer edge with white colour pencil for a lighter effect. As the heading suggests, we were to also use buttons for this challenge and I decided to use some buttons with animals and a smiley face as the sun.

I cut out the pieces for the Dog as it is in 3D and taped it to red backing cardstock I had on hand.
I added the sentiment "Get Well Soon, Thinking Of You" and felt perfect for this type of card.
I finalised with bling on the corners of the layered papers.

Please feel free to comment as all feedback is gratefully received and appreciated.
Thank you for visiting my blog.

Debutante - Fancy Fold

Image
Hi All, For this week's challenge at Incy Wincy Challenge Blog is a fancy fold card. I have been so interested in easel cards once I saw them. I decided to use this image that was kindly given to us by Cowgirl Up Stamps, at Stitchy Bear Stamps. http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/ I began with a yellow tinge cardstock and followed the instructions on how to make an easel card and came to realise they are not that difficult to make. I utilised a program I have been given by Greg on my laptop to colour in the image. The colour of the dress I found to be awesome and so gorgeous. I layered the top of the card with a red paperstock I had on hand and then some textured paper with heart print all over. I then used my pink metallic pen, which I must admit are my favourite colouring mediums, and outlined the thicker hearts to give some effect. I used my gold metallic pen to outline the layers and the outer layer of the card. I had a little trouble with the sentiment but with some help from my...

Naptime Bunny

Hi All, This week we were given this gorgeous bunny for our challenge over at http://incywincydesigns.blogspot.com/ . We are sponsored by Stitchy @ Stitchy Stamps this week www.stitchybearstamps.com/shop/ . I began with white card stock, then found glitter self adhesive paper in purple colour and added that as my first layer. I then added a piece of textured paper to break the glitter up a bit. I then added a lavender colour sheet of paper ontop of the textured layer. Naptime Bunny I used Fireworks to colour in and added it to the lavender colour paper. I made extra copies of Naptime Bunny and decided to 3D the ears and arms and also the legs of the crib to give some effect. I added the sentiment with the help of Greg as I wanted something different than the standard sentiments available. It reads "All I want is a love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt!". I thought it perfect for this card. I added a couple of eggs in the bottom left corner to give th...
