Last one.................

Another simple card, using the last of the printed portraits. Made in exactly the same way as the last one. This is a little old pony named Phoebe.

Very simple card

I'm still using the pictures that I printed out of some of my pet portraits, and this card is about as simple as they get! I cut the picture out, and glued it to the card blank. I added copper coloured peel offs, and used a black marker pen to draw a shadow effect round the image to make it appear raised. (The orginal painting was done on wood, which is why the grain can be seen through the painting) The pony is Foldor Skylark, another one that I bred myself, and who is now showjumping locally and also doing very well apparently.

Perch card

The challenge on Daring cardmakers challenge blog this week is fish and/or frog. I made this card using a print of a perch that I had previously painted. For a background I painted a little lake bank scene. I cut the scene out as an oval and edged it with a peeloff once it was adhered to the card. The fish was adhered using 3d foam pads and the card was edged with black distress ink and finished with peel offs.

3rd Peacock card

This gold card was again made using my stamp, embossed in black, and mounted on black velvet card. The card was finished off with gold peel offs.
