Surfing card

Its my Hubby's Birthday today, as he is a surfer there was only one theme that was needed for this card, so had a long search on the web for some suitable images that I could play about with in my graphic programme. Enlarged, streched and faded the surfboard images before printing onto pearlescent card, The camper Van image ( and we used to have one of these before the kids arrived) I took into 3D2 cardbuilder to make the pyramage decoupage, you can see the layers in the photo

For the inside, I again added the image from the front of the card, also added the surfing couple with the waves, and shaded the paper on the PC to match

Westie Christmas card

I was asked to make a Christmas Card For A Lady who just loves Westies.
I found this very cute image om the web, I took the image into my 3D2 cardbuilder and made two backing sheets . I matted and layers the sheets onto some Blue pearlescent card, The centre tag I cut out and mounted onto some more Blue perlescent card, this I then stuck to a strip of acetate using a Brad, the other end was Caught behind the second mat , this then let the Image swing free of the card Close up Picture showing the topper swinging away from the card

Sketch no 24

Here is my sketch for this week For this card I made the papers and topper using my 3d2CD.
I made the square image into a circle pyramage, I then layered this onto silver card with some nice punched out corners, I then stuck this to one side of the gate fold card, the backing papers came from bits of the image and me playing with the tile creator in 3D2. I love this function you can get loads of great backing papers, you can get a bit carried away and end up with way more papers than you will ever use

Two more cards

These were made using my 3D2CD
I took my image into the programme and made two decoupage toppers the first is a pyramid topper, I also made some backing paper to match, For these card I also used some of crafter`s companion embossed backing papers. I also made the tag using both papers and a peel off Happy Birthday
For the second I used a square card, I had made another topper to add to my printing out sheet, this time I made it as a traditional decoupage layered it up and added it to the centre of the card, this time I added some ribbon as I matted and layered the base card, again I made a happy Birthday topper for the bottom of the card

Fan

This image I took into 3D2, I made a pyramage topper and two backing papers.

I mounted the topper onto some purple mirri card, then made a Happy Birthday Topper using the background paper and mirri card.

I also used my craft studio cd to make a matching insert

Rachels monthly challenge

Once A month Rachel sets the members of crafters companion forum a card challenge to do.
This month was a betty boop Christmas image.

I took the image into my 3D2cd and resized the Image . I them made a few backing papers.

I mounted two of the papers onto a large square card, added a peel off between the two papers. mounted my piramage onto gold card , popped it all onto the centre and added a Christmas greeting

Playing with image

I have been having a bit of a play with the image that Rachel asked us to use in her challenge.

I coloured using paint Net, Then I had a little play with all the effect buttons , this image is a sepia effect.

I then saved and took it into my 3D2 where I had fun taking small parts of the image and making my own backing papers.

I also turned the image into a pyramage.you can get a bit carried away with 3dcd2 so many things you can do with it.

I matted and layered onto bronze card, and added a creamy gold ribbon
