Green Card

Another new card today.
I've used a Penny Black stamp set that I won earlier in the year and have only just got around to using! And I will be using it again as I loved colouring it in!
And after playing around in PSP I managed to get my photos to not look so blurry, so much better quality pics today lol



Isn't that little hedgehog so cute!?!
And even though I do say so, I like the way I coloured in the bird, who is attached to some acetate so that he hovers above the tree. I did take a video of me flicking him but it is sooooo dark, so I will try again tomorrow in daylight lol
Also to add more dimension I snipped away at the little hedgehog to give him bristles, but you can't really tell on the photo :(



A side shot, to show the acetate.

I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

  • Ooh La La: Spots & Dots {spots on the panels}
  • I Love ProMarkers: Use Acetate {I used acetate to make the birdie hover - I hope this counts!}
  • Penny's: Anything Goes
  • Delightful Challenges: Animals or Insects using Dots and Stripes {I have two animals, dots on the panels and stripes on the backing paper phew!}
  • Cute Card Thursdays: Trees or Leaves {I have used a tree lol and the flower to the left of the tree has a little leaf}

Recipe:

  • Penny Black Stamp Set
  • PaperMania's Creative Tones backing paper {the stripes} 'Olivine Essence'
  • Claire Curd's 'Big One' paper {dots} which I coloured over in a Mint ProMarker to darken it a little as it was far too light.
  • Prima Flower
  • Self Adhesive Pearl in the centre of the flower
  • Silver Mirror Board
  • Green Card stock
  • Sentiment which was also coloured with my Mint ProMarker
  • ProMarker colours used: Mint, Grass, Pine, China Blue, Azure, Cool Aqua, Cocoa, Cinnamon, Lilac, Rose Pink, Peach, Blush, Gold and Cool Grey 3
