Fitztown challenge #51 - Fantasy / Gnome for the holidays

Monday September 1, 2014

 

Welcome to another challenge at Fitztown Challenge #51 - Fantasy

 

OK so is this a fantasy or not?  to me a fantasy is something that isn't real, imagination, many people feel is false.. Well I think Gnomes are fantasy, imagination, false.. so this is my FANTASY card.. LOL

I used the Garden 1 image from the Fitztown store

 

since I had a sentiment that fit with the gnome I chose to make it a Christmas card.. (boy I have made a lot of Christmas cards this past month.... what's one more? )

 

I chose some Christmas papers, it's kind of hard to see the snowflake paper behind the image but yup it's snowflakes. The checkered herringbone red looking paper was perfect for the bottom half and the stripe paper was a little added look. I added the little enamel white dots to give a little more activity to the card. BUT the focal point are those Gnomes aren't they the cutest ever. I love the mushroom that they are hiding under and those cute little faces and happy look, and I am sure the one on the left is wearing Uggs.. (I love my uggs and cant wait for colder weather) It's a really cute digi image and fun to work with.

Hope you play along and load your card to the Fitztown challenge blog and follow the Fantasy theme.

Catch the bug Free Friday / find joy

Friday August 29, 2014

 

Welcome to another Free Friday at Catch the bug  this is Sand Flamingo

 

I had this left over mesh and it gave me the thought of using it as water and of course the kraft is the sand that he is sitting in then the sky behind him. I used the twine to give a little more texture and to help with that broken space. I put glitter on the sand and the goggles. I hope you can see it. This was a fun card to make and makes me want to head to the beach ..

Catch the bug / OBG - Love is everything

Thursday August 28, 2014

 

Today at Catch the bug is OBG day.. that stands for Oldie But Goodie.. I chose to use Deacon wings

 

 

I decided to give the texture paste another try. It has been awhile since I used it and I wanted a texture behind the image so thought this would be a great time to give it another go. The hardest part is to wait for the past to dry. I also had this negative sq. die left over from the YNS alphabet die. I cant throw anything away..LOL. Now I am glad I didn't. I thought Deacon needed to have some awesome hair color so went for it. I am loving this card.

Catch the bug New Release Tuesday / Ladybug fairy girl / Put on something

Tuesday August 26, 2014

 

Welcome to a new Tuesday and Release day at Catch the bug we have ladybug fairy girl

I just had to use the black dot paper and then the green dot ribbon onto the red card. I love this look and I thought I matched up the ribbon and copic pretty good. I love these new images Jodie has been coming up with. She looks like she is telling the ladybug to smile. He has that sad look. I tried a different effect for the button and ribbon. I don't do this enough and I see it a lot on blogs. Just adding twine to the end of the ribbon and then I threaded a button through and tied a bow. It can still be mailed because the ribbon can bend back or forward.
