ALPHABET CHALLENGE- N is for NOCTURNAL ANIMALS

 

Hi friends, and welcome back to my new Alphabet Challenge DT card.

The theme this go-around is N is for Nocturnal Animals. 

You have two whole weeks to play along!

 A few animals that thrive at night are hedgehogs, owls, raccoons, frogs, wild cats, bats, some fish and reptiles.

SOME DETAILS

 To keep the sentiment bright, it was stamped over just the moon, in orange dye ink, and then again in Versamark, using a stamp positioner. Then it was heat embossed with clear detail powder. This allowed for masking the moon and then blending some blue ink over it. 

The stump was stamped, fussy cut and glued flat. Some gray marker was added as a shadow at the base, and also under the pumpkin. 

The raccoon head, upper body and tail tip were foam-mounted. 

Some gray ink shadowing was added to the yellow moon with a miniature blending brush.

Well.  After stamping, coloring and fussy cutting the boys out, I was putting the background together and I realized I could’ve gotten away with just stamping on the card front 😂

ALPHABET CHALLENGE - K is for KITTENS

 

Hi friends, and welcome back to my new ALPHABET CHALLENGE DT card!

The theme this go-around is K is for Kittens / Cats. 

You have two whole weeks to play along, and you can enter up to three times any handcrafted items featuring the current theme!

DETAILS

Cats were colored in with alcohol ink markers. 

Sentiment was heat embossed in white detail powder.

Card base was dry embossed with SU’s Subtle folder. 

*TIP*

If tying a bow isn’t your thing but you’d like to add ribbon to your project, try adhering a straight length to your panel, attaching only on the reverse. Then simply tie another piece on as shown, either in matching or corresponding ribbon. Adding a blob of glue on the back side of the knot will keep things from shifting, and tacking the ends down with strong double-stick Glue Dots is helpful when sending out via post. 

SUPPLIES

cat stamps - Rare Image Rubber Stamps, Pets sheet

word stamps and oval die - Taylored Expressions

embossing folder - Stampin’ Up! Subtle

alcohol markers

red card stock

ribbons
