Said I wasn't going to buy anymore Popcorn the Bear stamps and cds, but couldn't resist!! Souffle the duck was so cute and the monochromatic images on the Popcorn Platinum cd were lovely. I was so inspired that I decided to get out the Popcorn cds I already had and made this little card. Wasn't sure if I liked it though thought it was a bit busy. Think next time I will use transparency feature on my graphics programme to tone down the background paper a bit.
Decided to have another go with my Hello Kitty cartridge. I made the starter project at the front of the book to see if the shadow feature was different cutting from the cart. It wasn't! If I make any easel cards with this cart it just won't have the second shadow layer around it to give it definition. Never mind these things are sent to try us. I hope you like this sweet little card. I used a scrapbook paper for the background and her dungarees. The accent paper is printed from Chameleon Card Craft cd and I also used this for her t-shirt. The large flower is from a 3 birds flower set I received from Crafters Companion this morning. These didn't cost anything as I used my points saved on my account. I had £25 to spend so I also bought Joanna Sheen Puppies and Kittens cd. The small flower is one I had already. Instead of sticking the tiny little pieces in the centre of the Hello Kitty flowers I used small gems.
Thought I'd try the spotlighting technique using my Popcorn bear stamps. Not really used these stamps much. I stamped two images the same, then decided which part of the design I wanted to use as the spotlight and cut it out with a circle punch. I then coloured it in with my promarkers. The background is an insert from the Popcorn floral disk which I altered in my graphics programme to get the colour I wanted. I slit the corners of the inner frame and slotted the edges of the main image into them. I used my cut and dry foam to give a wash of colour to the black and white image. This technique could be done in reverse with the main image in colour and the spotlight in black and white. I attached the spotlight with foam pads for dimension. You can put it on flat if you wish.
Another card using the ballet dress digi stamp. Digi stamps are great as you can make them any size you want. This is the third card I have made with this stamp. The third one is in waiting for next weeks challenge. The images were coloured with promarkers and the backing papers are from Forever Friends cd.
