Have a Relaxing Birthday (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

The Paper Shelter has such cute images and when you purchase them they come in black & white and colour along with backgrounds too. This image and background are both from The Paper Shelter but the background actually belongs to a different image, I thought I'd make them more unique by doing this.


I'm not sure if anyone has tried this technique of adding an image to a background digitally but you just use the PNG image (not JPEG) so that you can add it in front of the background. I used a pre-coloured image for this card.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz -  anything goes with optional twist: heroes and villains

Birthday Hammock girly card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi crafty friends,

This is my third and final card for tonight and I'm so happy with how my little holiday scene turned out for this card, what an adorable image from The Paper Shelter. I inked the sky with oxide inks and then added double sided tape to the bottom of the card and added fine glitter to it. I didn't have the right height palm trees for the hammock so I googled images and found these free ones to print out and fussy cut. I coloured the girl up with my Copics and added some embellishments I've had for a long time in my stash.
