Cute Card Thursday Challenge #214 Animal Magic

Background and moon created in Paintshop Pro on Cryogen (double sided sparkle cardstock) this beautiful card is a delight to work with, but doesn't allow too much working of the Promarkers, else it mottles - but the effect is worth having  a bash.  The slight purple-blue is in fact ''Bluebell''

Both challenges I have entered I hope meets the criteria,  I'm thin on the ground for animal stamps\digis.  The second is I've interpreted and looked at the examples, ''greys'' seem to be acceptable, so hopefully both challenges will be OK.

This was a fantastic sketch to work with,  what an opportunity to use up bits of card\paper stock too small for other projects.  I was so inspired by this, then started to think a little more outside the box and did another !!

Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge PWC202 A card for girls

I like to bring together occasionally graphics which can be found online, particularly from Microsoft, link provided with a DS image.  I have masses of card and paper stock, but mostly everything is too large, because I've purchased them online and never seem to get what I really need.  Although this can look as though it was done quickly, which is probably was, ONCE I found the appropriate piece of art work to compliment the image and the of the challenge.

A background created to look like a spray can of colours, it's actually quite a delicate balance of colours, EXCEPT YOU CAN'T SEE IT :(  I tried with both my cameras  the card & pale colours just reflect the light back (without the flash)  It is mounted on mirri board - not rainbow card

I love ProMarkers Challenge #112 white on white

What a bit of luck!!  and total joy, ''white on white''  Because most of the embossing folders seem only suitable for A6 .. I used the un-embossed area to enhence the tag.  About time there were some more universal size, i.e. suitable for square & A6 :)

I'm still not very good with digi photographics and again very disappointed with results, I've photographed this one again with a coloured background & flat, rather than upright, which tends to disort.  Also I'm using natural light, but not direct sun light, rather than flash, since it merely reflects too much, particularly some pale or white

Rats!!  still not much improvement.  The digi was resized to suit the diecuts, this is a truely fantastic christmas image and so nice to work with, with Promarkers.

Even working with this very small size, I've not used the extra fine nib attachments.  I've used Personal Impression Premier Quality Smooth Card (100 A4 about £14 when I purchased) 250 gsm Card PIWCARD100 really bright white. Without any bleed over the lines - digi printed.

Submitted to Sketch and Stash Neglected & New  #85 Kevin's Sketch

Looking for a smaller image to suit this challenge gave me the idea, which I've seen others use and that is to crop (hope that's not an infringement on copy right)  The new card stock has a nice subtle  yellow from the Works and I thought, too good to cover!  Peel offs seem to be a thing of the past? or is it just the challenges - these are not just neglected they are ancient!

Sadly, certainly a touch of the orange on this one, yet it is pretty pinks, the layer under the digi is actually a beautiful satin cardstock, in baby pink !!  But anyhows, it's a particularly fresh and Spring card with a certain touch of Spring, April and Easter Holidays 2012 style.

This was a wonderful opportunity to buy this particular image, it's the type of thing I like 'uncomplicated'!!

Perhaps I resized too small, I don't know, a bit of fear of colouring with diemension a larger area.  A total joy.  A note to PP I hope they don't consider it an infringement, but I rendered the background transparent, so I could layer behind the same varigated backgrounds from PSP tools.  Oh ... words from my noddy box!

Wow and many thanks
