Close Ups

For this weeks challenge, Close Ups, at Wicked Wednesday, sponsored by The East Wind, I have used this adorable Unicorn image.

The image is actually her whole body but I resized her in word so I could just do a close up of her upper body. I shredded some shredded pink ribbon to ground her. The atc is matted onto brown card stock.

this is Ryla against the colourful background :

Crazy Haired Cockatiel

Look at this crazy haired cockatiel from Miss Rach, how awesome is he. I, of course enhanced his crazy hair with a few highlights and I perched him in a tree, happily squawking away :

This was made for this weeks Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge of Fins, feathers, fur. 

The background is made with nuance powders on a very absorbant card stock so the colours did not run/bleed much when I wet them, then I die cut the branch and cut a tree and embossed it. I typed 'squawk' randomly on the background with my typewriter.

The cockatiel is coloured with copics and fussy cut. In Miss Rach's actual digi the bird is not on the tree, I adapted it.

Miss Rach has awesome cartoon critters, you should definitely check them out.

60's rock and roll girl

Such a fun image to work with this week at Wicked Wednesday, this is 60's rock and roll girl from Lemon Shortbread : 

For this ATC I was thinking that she just looked like a movie star to me. So I put her in a film :)

She is coloured with copics, and I used a film strip die and also the word 'love' is a die cut.

Looking forward to Halloween

Oh boy, did I have a hoot creating for this weeks challenge at Wicked Wednesday, which is Halloween.

The eyeball is from a Halloween set by MMedelIllustrations.

I printed the eye, coloured it with copics, fussy cut it and added a layer of diamond glaze. Then left it to dry for about 24 hours. Eyes really do benefit from this glossy look, makes them look much more real.

The background is made with a stencil and dylusions sprays. I tore the edge and typed the words on my typewriter. When everything was glued in place I added some shadows with a charcoal pencil and blending stub. I lightly inked the edge of the ATC in black ink.

The words made me laugh ... look how intently the eye is looking forward to Halloween ... LOL
