This week at
The Cuttlebug Spot we're creating for Thanksgiving, featuring a Turkey. I have to say, this is my favorite card possibly ever, hence the multiple photos :)... I have been in a creative slump for a while and I feel like going crazy with projects since this creation. I'm in the middle of a move so this really stinks but my sketch pad is out and I've been coloring images like mad... Crossing fingers I get to use them soon! This Easel card is so simple but makes the card so special. When we spend time crafting a masterpiece, and share it, this really is the best example I've seen to share and enjoy the artwork for the recipient. Just love it. I made mine 6x6. I found several tutorials on YouTube and many featured on blogs for example. My image is a fun free little vintage gal riding her tom's found at
The Vintage Workshop. I coated it 3 times with UTEE, then gently cracked after cooling and added ink for added distressing. My paper and Family stamped image is Prima, Cuttlebug: Victoria, Martha Stewart leaf punch, all other is misc from my stash. Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to check out the other DT works this week!
My hubby and son went shopping a few nights back with a very specific list... you know how that can go... well, they came home with more than we needed and Liam got HIS own cartridge, lol. He is sooooo excited about the Wildlife Lite cart. He's been cutting animals and coloring them for days. Animals of all sizes. Who needs overlays when you can color or ink? Now that he 'gets' what ink can do he is having great fun. "Mommy, I need the Chestnut Roan for my Elk antlers over here!" Love it. Anyway, he asked me to make him a card with his new cartridge. This image of the Mommy bear and cub is totally cute. He was specific with his request. Had to be "boyish". Had to have an image only showing the mom and boy. Had to be an easel card. Wallah... here ya go kiddo!
