The Huntsman

I've mentioned before my struggle with card making...

Today I continued my battle...

In this case using "the huntsman" from Saturated Canary (find it here)

At the Saturated Canary Challenge blog there is a challenge based on a picture

I interpreted the green grass and the big tree into this

Birthday Card for a friend from work

My friend is really into magic cards (I don't get it but he LOVES them)

So I figured what else would a little boy with a sword slay but a dragon??

I added some sewn detail around the sides

And the oval that the huntsman is die cut out of was them embossed around the edges.

The Ticket is from Tim Holtz, and I added the "happy day" stamping

Here's the huntsman's close up...

Isn't he a cutie?? 

Hope you like what I've created today!

All that glitters and shines

I'm working on cards this week! 

One of my peeps at work asked me to make her some cards... 

What's a better way to get better at something I feel I struggle at?? 

This is a Saturated Canary digi from the super talented Krista Smith

This week over at the saturated canary challenge blog the theme is bling!

So I brought it! 

This is "circus trixie" and I colored her using my copics and prismacolor alcohol based markers.

I added some glossy accents to the bow around her tummy, glitter to her hair, and the red along the outside of the spellbinders die cut is painted using red glitter paint.

I added rhinestones along the blue star paper on the side, and red glitter glue to the star in the corner.

I also added stitching to the sides, and the red ric rac (say that 4 times fast!) to the bottom... Finally I finished it off with a button strung with twine on the side!  

I certainly hope my friend loves this card!
