Been playing again

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs

Sorry to be a party pooper, but I am not enjoying all this heat, bring back lower temperatures say I.....

I've been playing with some of my sunset photographs from a while ago and my cards for today are the result. I am in the process of making a set of 6, these are the first 2. I realise they may not be to everyone's taste, but I am pleased with them :o)

If I remember correctly, the cat and the elephant are from my very old CorelDraw software (bought about 20 years ago) and I converted them in PSP7 (also bought around 20 years ago) to png then in SCAL so I could cut them out on my very old little Cricut.

I opened my sunset photographs in PSP7, then added the animal images and 

shadowed them.

I printed the pics onto Kodak Everyday Picture Paper which is 160 gsm and semigloss.

Black mats are Papermania textured card and the silhouetts are cut from the same card.

Computer generated sentiments cut with SU punches.

I hope you enjoy them as I really enjoyed playing :o)

The rest of my cousin's order

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world.....hugs

After the last mammoth commission from my cousin I was so pleased to have this simple set of 6 to make. She loves browns, as do I,  so  I set too with gusto. The only colouring on this set is a tiny bit of shading with a Copic pen :o)

 Three kings is an image from my very old (1990s) CorelDraw 7. I had to convert it to a png in PSP7 then changed colour to brown. I printed it straight onto the ivory linen card...from Papermill Direct...then added the text using Papyrus font before folding and cutting to 7x5.

Bethlehem image is a little stamp from Art Impressions, which I stamped with Memento inkpad, then cut with Spellbinders.

Brown textured card was from PDA aeons ago :o)

A bit of an experiment playing with images and my photogrpahs

Good morning everyone, I know you are probably all enjoing this very unseasonal weather but I am suffering with all this heat and I want Autumn to come back pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!

Anyway, onto my card. What can I say about it? I was ready to bin it but a couple of friends told me they love it!

The background is my own photograph taken through my sitting room window. The sleigh is an svg from Scrapping Table to which I have added a scroll. The "reindeer" - antelope really but heyho, it's cardmakers licence - is an image from CorelDraw7 which, in computer years, is ancient LOL. I have converted it to an svg then strung them together, but the small one is too small as it's legs are so thin they broke as I pulled them of the cutting 

mat :o( The sentiment is my own Scal image and it, and the swirl, is covered with Glamour Dust. I drew the star with gluepen and dusted it too. Personally I am still not too sure that it's worth saving but I will be guided by all of you :o)
