With the above sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You and the challenge over at Papertake Weekly being to include animals in your card, I have managed to combine both!
I have used a cream card for the base and used DCWV Animal CRackers paper and chipboard embellishments.
This was one of those great challenges over at 365 Cards where I knew instantly, what paper and kind of card I was going to make. I started this morning and then Simon was all in a faff about having ironed trousers and I had to wait until I got home just now to complete it!
On a side note, after much complaining from said boyfriend, I have now added a new photo to the side bar. This was taken on our last holiday to Spain and it is in an animal park called Mundomar.
Back to the card, I started with a red base and added card from the DCWV Rockstar stack at the bottom and mounted a guitar border on silver card. Before adding the border I included some black satin ribbon. Then I mounted white DCWV alphas onto black glossy card, mounted this on more silver card and added this at an angle. I finished this off with multicoloured peel-off notes (as per the specification) and a fancy cut silver guitar (not pink as in the photo) on 3D foam, also at an angle.
So, I still had scraps from this DCWV paper so that's where I started! I then added a chipboard ribbon slider and mounted a matching DCWV sticker onto blue card and then onto this.
It was a quick one today as Simon currently has the barbeque smoking, and there should be sausages soon!
I hope you're all having fab weather for the bank holiday too!
Also, thanks everyone for the lovely comments, I am looking forward to all the blog hopping I have to catch up with as soon as I am in the house for more than 5 minutes, and seeing what you have all done with these challenges!
Yes! That's what I thought when I saw the challenge over at 365 Cards! The task was to include "What" either on or inside your card. I really had to think about this one. Initially I was think of a Piratey them with "What! No Rum! Walk the Plank!" or something like that, and I started and it just looked a little bit silly!
So then I had another think about it! This is what I came up with!
I started with a DCWV paper and added a sticker which I first raised on 3D foam. Next I added a flat sticker and stuck the large glittery W (also DCWV) on top of this and then continued with smaller letters around the flow of the curl on the paper. To match the glittery W I finally added glitter on each of the small letters too.
