You Are LLamazing

The new challenge theme at Cardz 4 Galz has been chosen by Johanna – backgrounds. Here is my card:

My background was created using a stencil from Time For Tea Designs, and ink blending with Distress Oxides. I used three colours, but the overlap between each colour created two more, so I achieved almost a rainbow effect.

The images are from Heffy Doodle – stamped, coloured with Copics, then die cut with the matching dies.

I tried a different way of colouring – dotting instead of the usual solid colouring – and I think this creates dimension in their coats. I may well be doing this technique again as I like the effect.

I wasn’t going to use all of the llamas, but I just couldn’t resist.

I hope you can come and join us with your background themed cards. xx

You’re How Old……?

Hello there. Cardz 4 Galz has started a new challenge. Caz has chosen the theme of ‘Clean and Simple’. Here is my card:

I chose a Heffy Doodle image, stamped then coloured with Copics, and die cut with the matching die set.

I then die cut a circle into white panel, added a piece of previously created ink smooshed card behind the aperture, and then added the image so he was poking his head out of it.

The sentiment was stamped and cut into a strip, adding as you see.

I hope you can come and join us with your CAS creations. xx

Sending You High Koality Hugs

Hello once again. Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge has started a new CAS themed challenge. This time we want to see ‘HUGS’. Here is my card:

This cute hugging pair of koala’s is a stamp from Heffy Doodle. I coloured them with Copics – first having a little internet search for the colouring of koala’s – grey’s and brown’s – so I coloured each differently – warm grey and cool grey, with some white gel pen for interest.

The sentiment if from the same stamp set.

The background circle is a Concord & 9th stamp and using a lighter green, then a stitched circle die.

I hope you can come and join us with your CAS ‘HUGS’ themed cards. xx
