Toothless a Dragon

Hello again,

Today I am sharing a card which required some research, I was asked to make a card for an 8 year old girl who loves a character called ‘Toothless’ now I’m not really into going out to the movies and had no idea who or what ‘Toothless’ was, a little search in Google I found out it was a little dragon from the How to Train your Dragon films, problem now was to find an image or something which I could use I came across a site called Deviant Art where there is a couple of black and white images available, another Google search for handmade cards ‘Toothless’ and a very talented lady Gill Prescott’s blog page with a great punch art card with ‘Toothless’ the dragon on it.

Gill has used a variety of Stampin’ Up punches to create her ‘Toothless’ as I have so far resisted Stampin’ Up products so far, (I do have some on my wishlist) I went through my dies and Gill’s list and selected the best fit using my stash.

I initially inked the edges of the pieces that would lay over the top of others but decided once finished that the dragon required a little more definition and used my white pen to add a fine line around all the black pieces... 

Here is my card:-

Coffee o'clock

Hello again,

Time for a second post today for another card for our family history friend, who loves coffee! and takes it to the local family history centre at the Latter Day Saint Church, (she is an assistant with the family history centre and is not a member of the church.) 

I had this wonderful image from Paulette over at Create with TLC and a collection of Coffee quotations collected from purchases and freebies. 

I usually stick to original image colours and this time decided to change colours and just press print, I'm sure I chose red on screen but it came out much darker than anticipated, so not having much in the way of coffee themed papers and having a very deep red (read burgundy) I reached for my Christmas paper pad! 

Here is my card:-

What I used:-
White 5" x 7" card blank
Printed image from Create with TLC
Sentiment from Create with TLC
Kaisercraft 'Yuletide' Paper 
Prima Botanical Collection
