Sadly I’ve
missed a few weeks at As You See It, March is always a busy time for me at
work
as lots of our winter racehorses are back in work, so I’m pretty flat out
riding at the moment.
However I’m determined
to play along this week and get back into the swing of things again.
This week at
As You See It we have a lovely spring themed colour challenge.
Our colours
for this week are Melon Mambo, Cucumber Crush and So Saffron!
With Easter
only just around the corner I decided to finally make a start on my Easter
cards,
this week’s colour challenge just seemed so fitting for an Easter card
with the fun and bright colours.
I started off by using my We R Memory Keepers Trim & Score Board to trim down
some Trophee
Board White Linen 240 GSM cardstock, making an A2 top folding card.
I then did
something a bit different to what I would normally do and used a digital image,
The original
digital image is of a single bunny so I had to alter and edit it three times to get the
I was hoping
I had a stamp that would tie in with this card however I couldn’t find anything
that I liked so I went back to Gimp and made my very own sentiment, and I must
say I was very happy with myself and the end result.
To add a bit
of a playful touch to my sentiment I changed the word “Happy” to “Hoppy”,
I thought
this was very fitting since bunnies hop and it tied in nicely with the
hipster vibe these bunnies have.
I then used
Gimp one more time to make my final image, combining all three bunnies and my
sentiment all into one image, I then used my home printer and printed the image
out onto a sheet of Trophee Board White Linen 240 GSM cardstock.
I then die
cut my printed image out using a stitched rectangle die from the Lil Inker Designs,
I popped my whole
die cut image up with Best Creation Large 3D Foam Tape Dots to add some
dimension to the card so it wasn’t one flat layer.
To add a bit
of detail to my image / card I added some Clear Wink Of Stella to the frames of
the bunnies glasses and the polka dots on the bunnies bow ties, and as just one
more finishing touch I added some Rangers Glossy Accents to the bunnies noses.
Not my typical card but I hope you liked my take on this week’s colour challenge,
Have a
lovely week and as always, thanks so much for stopping by,

Those bunnies are too cute! I'm sure "hoppy" you joined us at As You See It Challenges this week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Heather for your "hoppy" comment. =)
DeleteI love your bunnies with their cool glasses! Such a great use of the colours. I've never done any digital card or scrapbooking, so I enjoyed reading about how you'd done it. Thanks so much for joining us this week at As You See It.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jan for your lovely comment, Gimp is a great starting tool if you are wanting to try out a few digital cards or scrapbooking pages, if you find its something you like you can then always buy Photoshop for the more serious digital artist.
