Parrot Pals

Good morning all!

I'm back with another sample I made for today's launch of the new

La Pashe CD Rom "The PetSet" On Create & Craft TV

This is "Parrot Pals"

! I love the gorgeous bright colours of these feathered friends.

The grey reminds me of a friends African Grey, called "Bird" who loved 

to eat M&M's from a bowl. He was a corker!

My card is an 8x8 inch base with a bit of matting & layering of plain paper

as well as the patterened papers which are also on the CD Rom.

I used an Xcut punch for the decorative border.

I added some beaded ribbon down one side, this is from Lidl & was originally 

meant for gift wrapping. I love the different strands & I'm sure if the birds 

were real, they'd love playing with the beads! Lol

To further embellish, I cut some of thefeathers from the DP, feathered 

the edges & attached with some pinfflair glue for dimension.

The sentiment was trimmed, the corners punched & then mounted on a 

Spellbinders speech bubble die cut.

I think you can just about see the dimension in this photo!

So, don't forget to tune in to see the launch of the

"Pet Set" CD Rom on

 Create & Craft TV

Good morning all, it's Monday which means, it's time for the brand new 

challenge over at Eureka Stamps, where this week we have a theme of

#168 Angels

Here's my DT card.

The image I have used is ChristmasAngel Digi 7504

My card is  6x6 inch Linen embossed cardstock.

I added a matt of pearlised gold card from my stash & a layer of 

holly printed vellum also from my stash (it's been there forever).

The image was coloured with my Sakura pens & some promarkers for shading.

I used a spellbinders circle die to cut out the image & a scalloped circle for the gold

mat behind. The ribbon is from my stash, the Noel is a diecut & the snowflakes are punched 

using an Xcut punch. The added gems were also from my stash.

A little side view to show the glitter & shine from the Sakura pens.
