Guest Designer at Imagine That Creative Playground Blog - Llama Kisses card

Hi Crafty Friends,

If you saw my last post you'd know I was lucky enough to win a guest designer spot at Imagine That Creative Playground blog. They're half way through their September challenge so you still have plenty of time to enter and win gorgeous sets like this one to play with. Please click HERE to go check out the challenge. 


I had a lot of fun creating this card. I used the background papers and put them altogether before printing so I didn't waste any toner/ink printing extra paper patterns. I only used Llama Kisses digi set to create this card so it's easy for you to make your own version with just a colour printer! I made a 14cm square and then added the papers and made them fit into it so I knew the printout would fit nicely on my 15cm card leaving a white border (see photo below for how I printed it). I even made a white rectangle in the centre where the image was going to be so I saved ink not printing behind where the image was going. I could have made it an all-in-one print out but I liked the llamas scene being added with a bit of height to give it a little 3D. All of the papers I used, the image and sentiment comes in this set plus more so it's definitely worth buying this set. You can buy it HERE. I have shown below how I printed it out.

 

Thank you so much Kris for letting me choose this generous digi set to play with for my guest spot, I love it and will use it again for sure! This is going to be my hubby's anniversary card :)

Thank you to my special followers for dropping by. I'm going away so I'm not able to add this to any challenge blogs like I usually do.

A Birthday Gondola Ride card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi crafty friends,

I had a lot of fun creating this card. I fussy cut The Paper Shelter images out and then used my oxide inks to create the background. This was a bit of an experiment with my embossing ink pen to scribble lines then add some white embossing powder to create a wave effect. I accidentally smudged the funny little seagulls I doodled on, I think they were a mistake to start with but, I can usually find a way to cover errors up but there was nothing I could do to fix this. So we'll say the big seagull is travelling so fast he's leaving a trail lol.

Forever in Love Valentine's Day card (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi crafty friends,

Happy Valentine's Day!

I absolutely adore these little lovey dovey elephants from DigiStamp Boutique. I decided to get creative with the background after watching some Youtube videos so I created a fence, trees, sky etc with my Copics after colouring up the ellies (very scary as I thought I may waste all my efforts and then not be happy with the outcome but I surprised myself, I know elephants wouldn't usually be found in a farm style paddock but... hehe)
