CDD Deer Friend

Hi. I'm sharing my latest card. I've used the adorable Deer Friend (link includes my Affiliate) digital stamp by Craftin Desert Diva's . The matching sentiment came with the cute image. I've coloured this image using Touch Five Markers and Pencils. I've used some  Craftin Desert Diva's Die Cut Set  to create the scene. These sets are  Outdoor Landscape 2 Die Set  and  Garden Boarder Die  Set. I've coloured the background die cuts using Distress Inks then I've layered them up to create depth. I've designed this card as inspiration for the  Craftin Desert Diva's October Mood Board Facebook Challenge . This is a picture of the October Mood Board Challenge image. The things that inspired me to create this card was the colours and the outside scene image with the trees and leaves with just a small amount of sky showing (which is why I've got mainly brown and green in the background.) We'd love it if you could join in this

CDD Twins Magic & Sunshine Interactive Cards

Hello. I'm happy to be sharing two sweet interactive girls birthday cards I've made for my daughter twin friends. As they are twins I did them cards that are the same, but different (in their favourite colours.) I've used this beautiful Craftin Desert Diva's digital stamp called Magic & Sunshine . The scene in the background (grass, trees, clouds and flower) are a mix of two  Craftin Desert Diva's Die Cut Set  called  Outdoor Landscape 2 Die Set  and  Garden Boarder Die  Set. I stuck the bottom of the scene down tightly with glue using a plastic card to push them as close and as tightly to the base as possible. I did this so as the fairies swing they won't get caught on them. I created the swinging motion by getting acetate then putting a hole punch at the top and putting a split pin through it making sure it has enough room to allow it to swing. I secured the split pin to the base of the card. I stuck the fairy at the bottom of the acetate. Th
