Scotland Stag

Morning crafters hope this finds you all safe and well? Thank you for visiting me today I do appreciate it, please do leave a comment and a link if you have one so I can return the favour.

I recently purchased the Card Creations 'Brush Strokes in the Wild' CD Rom, there are some fabulous images on there and this one of the Scotland Stag is one of them, I love the scenery behind him, magnificent. I tried to fit the colours of my card/paper in with the colours from the image so I used:

Create and Craft  Silk Finish Card Brown

Create and Craft Double-Sided Satin/Miri Card Peach

Create and Craft Adhesive Velvet Paper Dark Blue

Kanban Foiled Card Brown

Card Creations CD Rom Brush Strokes in the Wild Scotland Stag Image & Backing Paper

I matted and layered up the image, card & papers as seen. I wanted to use a Dark Blue card to match the image but I did not have any, luckily I found the Adhesive Velvet Paper that I had for quite a few years so that did the trick. I attached the image in the center to off set the backing paper.

There you have my finished card, no dies, ribbons, embossing or embellishments which make a change for me lol!

Elephant Family

Morning crafters, hope this finds you all well?

A rather bright card for you today, the colours were chosen from the image so my apologies if its a bit too bright for some of you lol!

I started with a sheet of Crafters Companion Centura Pearl Blue Pastel card and folded it in half to make a Landscape card. Onto this I matted a piece of Create and Craft Kraft card.

I felt I matched up the Yellow in the image (Card Creations CD Rom "Brush Strokes in the Wild") with this Lidls Bright Yellow card, I cut it to size then ran it through the E Bosser with Sheen Douglass Marching Elephants Embossing Folder, I rubbed Creative Expressions Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Wax Cast Bronze over the raised Elephants, rounded the corners then matted it onto my card.

I formatted the image on my computer to give it a Black frame then matted and layered onto Yellow and Blue card before attaching it onto my card at an angle as seen.

For the sentiment (CE Kind Thoughts) I stamped with TH Vintage Photo onto Yellow card then die cut using SB Standard Circles Large, I mounted it onto some CC Centura Blue Pastel card also die cut with SB Standard Circles Large then attached it to the card in the bottom right corner.

There you have the finished card.

Leopard on the Rocks!

Morning crafters, hope this finds you all safe and well.? Thank you for coming and looking today, I do hope you leave a comment and come back again, I really do appreciate your time.

I have had the Card Creations CD Rom "Brush Strokes in the Wild" for a time now so thought I had better start using some of the fabulous images on there. I decided on this beautiful image of a leopard resting on the rocks, most images come in several shapes and sizes but not circles so I formatted this one in my word document then die cut it out using SB Standard Circles Large.

I printed off one of the sheets of backing paper from the same CD Rom and it was this paper that made me choose the colour card, Black card and Lidls Pale Yellow card. I matted and layered the image onto Yellow then Black card and did the same with the backing paper.

I attached the image in the top left corner of my card then printed my sentiment from Creative Expressions Unmounted Stamps Heartfelt Sentiments with TH Distress Ink Black Soot onto more of the Yellow card and die cut it with SB  Radiant Rectangles.

I attached this to the card as seen, there you have the completed card.
