Mother and baby

   The digi image of the elephant is available from Scrapper's Delights if you wish to take part in their facebook progressive challenge. I did them as two different sizes to create a mother and baby elephant and then coloured them using Promarkers. After cutting out I dusted the edges with Distress Ink and then matted it onto teal card and added a card candi to each corner. 

   The background paper was created using My Craft Studio graphics program and was matted and layered onto teal card and then white card.

   The sentiment was computer generated and again matted onto teal card.

Relaxing frog

   This week the theme for the QKR Stampede challenge is anything goes with the twist of embossing of any kind.
   I embossed leaf green core'dinations cardstock using the Sheena Douglas folder grassy swirls and rubbed olive green Distress ink over the embossed areas before matting and layering it onto olive green card and white card.
   The frog image called relaxing reading (number 24214) was coloured using Promarkers, fussy cut and attached to the card using glue gel. I cut several leaves from various shades of green card using Tattered Lace's tri dies  called Sophie. Some of these I embossed using the accompanying mini embossing folder, to others I attached letters cut using Tattered Lace's alphabet dies to form the sentiment.
