Neigh!

A card for a horse lover today.  Image and baking paper  from Joanna Sheen Furry Friends cd, mounted on a pearlescent card.  Computer generated sentiment and the flowers were the "waste" from a Tonic punch. 

Thanks for dropping by.

Another Dog

Dog in a hat

Today's card is another one from JS Furry Friends - there really are some cute images on this cd.   Backing paper is also from the cd.  Just kept it simple matting onto a sort of gold papermania pearlescent card and added a little bit of chiffon ribbon with a faux bow.

Puppy & Roses

Puppy and Roses

Today's card is an image from furry friends.  The backing paper is also from the same cd - but it was pink - so I converted it to the shade I wanted in Publisher.  Backing paper, topper and computer generated sentiment all mounted on my favourite papermania pearlescent card.   Some ribbon from my stash and some card candi.

70th Birthday Card

I have used this image from JS Furry Friends before for a man's card, but couldn't resist using it again for my SIL's 70th Birthday, as she used to have a dog a bit like this.

I imported the image into MCS so that  I could  then match one of the blues in the image to find out the appropriate RGN numbers for me to computer generate it in Publisher - I actually made a note of the two shades used and used both later.  (I use Publisher quite a bit for planning a card, as I can snapshot the various backing papers that come on a CD and see which one I prefer as a background paper against the image - which saves printing off loads of papers and then choosing.  - For instance I tried backing papers with dog bones, and paw prints, before settling on this one from the CD.)

The image and sentiment (sentiment has a computer generated surround to match the image), and backing paper were then mounted on blue papermania pearlescent textured card and I also cut the skelton flower from the same card.   I also wanted to try out my Cheery Lynn French Pastry doily die, to make the card a tad more feminine.  The basic card is a pale pearlescent cream cardstock (from C&C bought at Wilkinsons!).

Added a diamante gem to the flower and then over-wrote the sentiment with a bluey/green Sakura gell stardust pen, which was the exact colour of the writing - how lucky was that!

The card was completed using the matching insert from the CD, to which I also added the dog image to the "fly leaf" with a matching computer generated surround (again using Publisher).

Blue Dog

Couldn't think what to entitle this card - thus Blue Dog!  (ok my imagination has gone awol today!)

Another card using the JS Furry Friends CD.  Image matted and layered on blue pearlised Papermania card, on cream cardstock, and the tartan sections (from extra backing papers section of same CD)  imported into Publisher and wording added, and edged with silver peel-offs.  I have so many peel-offs in my stash, that I rarely use, and I have vowed to rectify that!   Corner decorations also created with silver corner peel-offs with some little white sparkly star peel-offs in the centre.

Second Furry Friends card

Image is from JS Furry Friends, matted and layered on very pale pink shimmered card (forget the name -bought it at Ally Pally) and silver mirri.

The Martha Stewart trellis was punched from card created from the central part of the cat image amd resized.  Flower and sentiment (matted/layered as image) was also created from cropping part of the image and resizing to create matching card.  Basic card is my favourite Papermania Shimmer card.

Cats and Gymnastics

As soon as I saw this image on JS Furry Friends, I knew I had to buy the CD - it was just what I wanted for a card order with the requirements Cats and Gymnastics!  I have even been brave and not layered it straight - bit diverse for me!  The photo doesn't really do the colours justice as the image is more aqua than blue.

Basic white card stock, trimmed with Woodware cutter.  The backing square of a gymnast was created in MCS by tiling a royalty free image, and changed to brown.  This was matted and layered using Papermania shimmered textured card stock in a brown shade to match the cats, and gold mirri, as was the image and the sentiments, which were created in Publisher.

I also created some flowers, by importing the image into Publisher and cropping the image, and then resizing it to give me the colour of card I wanted for the flowers (I printed card on both sides in different shades).  Whole thing finished off with a touch of brown ribbon and some matching jewels.

Close up of the flower detail showing how it matches the image.
