Diving Candace

Recently I won a prize at Cupcake Inspirations blog and it was for a set of digis called Splash of Fun from Chi Chi Memories and this card uses Diving Candace from that set.

Using the latest sketch over at Chi Chi Memories blog I have covered the base of the card with a cool paper which has shells and starfish on it from DCWV. The image is coloured with Promarkers and matted onto a scrap of card which has different shades of blue on the background. The sentiment is also mounted on this. Both are raised with 3d foam.

I have used different shades of blue and green ric rac ribbon to emulate seaweed and used a leaf punch to cut loads of leaves in two different shades of green. I am really pleased with how this card has turned out and I am also getting a chance to use papers that have been in my stash for years and years.

Card Size - A5
Sentiment - Die cut from Let's Make Cards magazine
Paper - DCWV
Embellishments - Ric Rac, large gems from Paperchase
Tools - 3d Foam pads, leaf punch

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges (in Alphabetical order) :-

Home Sweet Home


There is a challenge over at Robyn's Nest on IDIC and you get a free image to play with too, how cool is that ?

The image is the 3 birdies in the nest called I Tawt I Saw a Pooty Cat by Robyn's Fetish. I already had the pooty cat image from Digistreet coloured in but hadn't got round to using it so this seemed like the perfect card to pair them up.

The base paper is part of a large 12" sheet from My Minds Eye Penny Lane collection. It has a huge tree with owls that is the height of the paper and then a great big area of pale green spots which is what I had used it for. The tree was so big I didn't think I would ever use it but I had the idea to take the lower portion and slice around the branch so I could slot the nest into it. Jules, I have used another snippet !!

The little house from Chi Chi memories was also already coloured in and it seemed that as the card was evolving it made itself in a collage style so I added a chipboard sentiment and some sequin flowers under the tree and job done!!

All images were coloured in using Promarkers and a full list of digis is as below.

Materials Used in this card are as follows:-
Card Size - A5
Images - I Tawt I saw a Pooty Cat by Robyn's Fetish, Foxy Feline by Digistreet, Sweet Home by Chi Chi Memories
Sentiment - Colorbok chipboard from QVC
Paper - Penny Lane collection by My Minds Eye
Embellishments - Butterfly brad by Papermania & small brads by Queen & Co
Tools - Promarkers and lots of 3d foam
Techniques - Decoupage
