Mounrain Lion

 

This will be my last animal for a little while...I promise.  I needed one more male card.  I have used this image a few times.  Along with the rooster it's a favorite of mine. 

The image is from Digi Doodle Shop.  Which I mentioned when I did the rooster, is now closed.  

I colored him with Copics.  I really like the paper, it's  from Coredinations.  

Fortunately, I bought a couple pieces.

Oh well, I'm burned out.  It's 9:00 and my bedtime.  I need to avoid my craft desk for a few days and catch up on housework.  Next week is spring break...plenty of time to craft!

Playing with my Photo Program

 I have been playing with my photo program today with different brightnesses, contrasts and lightings.  It is amazing how you can alter how a picture looks after it is taken.  I think the first is my favorite, but I also really like the second.  The third has too much yellow, in my opinion.

The image is from Sparkle n Sprinkle.  I just came across the website yesterday and bought a few animal digis.  .I colored the image with Copic markers. It didn't take very much to color it since it is a predominately white animal.  I decided to go with a brownish gray for the color.  I looked up snow leopards and some actually do have blue eyes although, most have muted tones. I actually put three different blue tones in the eyes.  You can't tell at all.  I did decide not to put a greeting on the front.  I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.  My husband came in as I was photographing this card and said "What made you choose that image?"  Thanks, hun....Men!

Have a Wonderful Day!

This image is from Digi Doodle Shop.  The shop is no longer in business.  They had the most wonderful, realistic animal images.  Fortunately, I was able to get most of them before the shop closed.  

This image is colored with Copics.  The papers are from October Afternoon.  I cut the chicken wire and the wheat with my Silhouette.  

One thing I have noticed about the Silhouette that I really dislike is the quality of the mats.  I was able to use my Cricut mats for a long time.  I find that the Silhouette mats are destroyed extremely quickly, which runs into a lot of money.  Of course, the Silhouette itself is immensely better than the Cricut.  I may try a Cricut mat in it to see if it works,

Friends

I thought this image was really adorable.  The image and greeting are by QKR Stampede.  I have been trying to do their weekly challenges.  This is my third in a row.  I colored the image with Copics.  I used a load of colors this time!  One of these days I have to get my pencils back out.  I don't think I've used them in years.  The digital paper is by Basic Grey.  The ribbon is from Taylored Expressions.  It's one of my favorite.

Another Angel

 

This is another angel image from Crafts and Me. This one is called Moon.  I haven't quite decided what this card will be used for so I haven't put the greeting on the front yet.  I'm thinking, maybe, Sympathy, but I'm just not sure.  I think this will be my last heavily flowered card for a while. I think I'll aim for a few CAS ones. Although, for me they are more of a challenge.

I colored the image with Copics.  The background was cut with the Silhouette.  The flowers are predominately from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I really need to take some time to work on coloring folds.  I have not been able to master that yet.
