Handy Manny A4 card

Hi all well my Daughter has done it again asked for a character card for Callums birthday.

Handy Manny this time have had to google for images found these clipart images which i had to resize and print out a few times to decoupage can just make out the layers.

i used an A3 piece of card Folded in half and attached a sheet of green card the scenic card is from Kanban had got it for something else but thought it ideal for the background.

for the insert i printed out on 2 seperate sheets of A4 paper & attached inside the embellishments are screw top brads feel as though it still needed something but to late now her Dads dropping it off for her hope she likes it

Another Sponge bob card

Hi All looks like summers here for a while anyway, been red hot got caught out in thunderstorm yesterday was like a drowned rat just crossing the street, my type of weather love the rain. Then was in morrisons when there was a powercut have never seen the staff move so fast ushering everyone out of the aisles to the tills. Have had a couple of cards to make the first one is a Sponge Bob card for a girl.

I had to google for an image which i printed out a couple of times to layer it up. The backing is some glitter card i just stamped the greeting out onto some card and matted it onto some silver mirricard. I finally gave in and bought some nesties the letters for the name are cut using one of the cuttlekid alphabets using the cuttlebug, well i best get on and get the other one done before Mojo escapes again.

Nearly finished

Hopefully will get finished before the weekends out just a few more to do then start back on the birthday cards wonder if theres anyone else lagging behind, this image must be my favourite have used it for quite a few cards lately and seem to have a thing about the colour green could it be my age could be as i slipped up on this one wasnt til i had it all put together i found id missed a piece of the decoupage off dunno how it was the second largest piece still it worked out ok well think id better finish my cuppa and head of to bed got to face the shops tomorrow oops it is tomorrow wow ive been here since yesterday thats wot happens when u come on late lol bye for now

another few xmas cards

still here so thought just a few more
using Joanna Sheens Enchanted Christmas for the santa one a variation on the card in the previous post the vintage girl and tatty ted where both made using 3dcd2 just by adding a colour in the programme you can get such a variety when doing the backgrounds and you can find yourself sitting for ages trying out different settings.
both papers for the tatty ted card are made from the same image
the vintage girl is the same as a couple of earlier cards with a slight variation in colour for the background paper

too take the

picture into another programme to get the black background out with it being a gif file then save it to jpeg. had to dash out when doing this post its taken over an hour to try and get the text lined up note to self dont press publish til your sure youve finished it lol
