I Scream, You Scream

Today we're sponsoring Digital Tuesday and the challenge is to make someone laugh, my favourite type of card because I love laughter. There's a story behind this card...it was suppose to be a double page scrapbook layout. I had the image coloured, knew in my head how it should look and then picked which photo's I'd use. ALL of the photos were mainly blue. Of course they were blue and no matter what I did the ice cream and gummy worm just didn't look good. So I'm going to redo the image and use the correct colours but for now its a card.

Both images are from Doodle Pantry but the ice cream sundae is from the CDAC Progressive challenge and the ant and gummy worm are from Doodle Pantry's Watermelon Lunch. I love merging images to create scenes and this worked great. I was originally going to use just ants on the sundae but liked these two better. 

I put 3-d glaze on the bowl and cut out and popped up most of the image. Inside of the card is almost as good as the outside! Just click on the image to enlarge it so you can see the writing.

Hop on over and give Digital Tuesday's challenge a try, give someone a laugh today!

Serene Scene

This gorgeous Pelican is from Doodle Pantry. I really debated on this one because I made it for a girlfriend going through a hard time. She loves any kind of bird, bug, animal, etc. At first I thought a Pelican would be more of a masculine card but with the scrollworks blush background (a great feminine background) I think its perfect for her. She loves relaxing at the lake and watching the birds. I used prisma markers and then embossed it and sponged the sky and water. The inside says "Wishing you peace in a time of trouble". I've entered this into three challenges, the first is at Crafters Digital Art Centre, Doodle Pantry is hosting an embellishment challenge. (If you're not a member I'm not sure the link will work for you, its free to sign up) The challenge is to do something with one or all of the corners of your project. The second is Drunken Stampers Challenge and its Serenity Now- show how you like to relax. The last is Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and its to do a clean and simple card. Two pieces of ribbon, background and image, pretty simple.
Stamp: Doodle Pantry Pelican Dreams
Paper: Very vanilla, basic black, blush blossom, whisper white
Ink: ballet blue, bashful blue, blush blossom
Other: prisma markers, ribbon, cuttlebug scrollworks, spellbinders label 4
