Under Something?

Hello and welcome to my blog. today we begin a new challenge at Alphabet Challenges. Meg has chosen U is for Under Something? What is the U under? Whatever you like, the sea, the weather, an umbrella, can you think of anything else it may be Under? To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog. 

I had so much fun creating this card, I started creating the background with Distress Inks. The mermaid stamp is by Stampendous.  I used Promarkers to colour the Mermaid's tail and hair, along with Sparkles and glitter. The underwater foliage, octopus, bubbles etc are from a set of stamps I found in a £1 tub at a Craft Fair. I hope you find something for Under and you have fun creating your entry. Take care. 

Safari

Hello, welcome to my blog. today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Dawn w from the Design team has chosen for the challenge #216 Safari. To see the wonderful inspiration from the team please visit the blog. 

For my card, I began with a white DL card. I added for the background some corrugated brown card, to give a rustic background. On a piece of white card I added Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutters, as watercolours. I stamped with Rich Cocoa, the large stamp of the leopard and on another piece of card two large leaves were coloured with watercolour pencils  These were fussy cut, added to the edge of the card, to add the 'Leopard' Scrabble letters to. I re-stamped the leopard, coloured the light areas with DI
 Old Paper, added it with foam pads over the first stamped image. I tore and distressed the piece of painted green card and adhered it to the corrugated card.
