Paper Craft Journey Challenge #3 15 Feb 12 Make It Cute

 

Make It Cute!!

This is a weird week as far as challenges go for me!  Both of my DT's are using the Pink Cat Studio digi's this week.  As promised, here's what I did with my second PCS digi.

For the Paper Crafting Journey challenge we want to see you do just the cutest little project possible!  Let's hope mine is cute enough to fit this challenge.  I wanted to try a little something different for this challenge.  I printed out the digi on paper and traced over it with "at you" Spica pen in black on a thick velum.  Then I colored the different areas in stickles and Liquid Pearls in "Pastel Raspberry" on the inside part of the wings and on the stripes at the bottom of the body.  To finish it off, so that i could hang it, I used some of my daughter's old beads on a thin beading wire.  I definitely know I will be making more of these types of projects..

Well, this is going to be my last challenge for Paper Crafting Journey.  I just don't have the energy anymore to make cards or do the comments!  It's not a difficult thing, but I just can't do it!  I just want to say a HUGE THANX to Lisa and the rest of the DT for the chance to work with them!! 

Here's a close up, so that you can see all the details...

Embellishment Challenge

THIS CHALLENGE IS BEING HOSTED BY: INKTEGRITY 

DURATION: September 23, 2010-October 6, 2010


"Breaking the Plane"

Create a card with an image that breaks the plane of its frame. It gives an image so much more dimension by letting a part of the image exceed the frame area, as my wagon wheel does in my sample card.

There are a few fun ways to do this: either by drawing simple lines lightly with a pencil and then cutting around it either by hand or with a simple paper cutter, or using a die cut or nestie to do the job.

I used scraps of paper and cut out leaves as a border down the side of the image.  You can find this challenge here.
