HIMCR04NSD - Use a Critter

Hi! I'm back for our fourth challenge of the day at Hiding in my Craftroom's National Scrapbooking Day celebration. And we're challenged to use a critter! It can be any critter: furry, creepy, crawly, or one that flies; it can be cute, pretty, or otherwise! Again any project is welcome!

Our sponsor for this challenge is:

 

One lucky winner will receive

3 Sweet N Sassy digital images!

I had the opportunity to pick an image from SNSS that I really enjoyed working with, called Birds and Roses. And this is how I incorporated it on my card:

Spellbinders:

- Classic Circles

- Gold Elements One

Brilliance pigment ink in Coffee Bean

Ranger Distress ink in Old Paper

Inkadinkado embossing powder in Pearlescent

Spectrum Noir markers - Pinks, Reds

Staedtler markers - greens, light browns, yellow

Other generic materials

Textured cardstock in light pink

Feuille cardstock in sand beige

Specialty cardstock in pearlescent soft pink

Eggshell cardstock in white

5/8" gross grain ribbon in sand beige

This is an A2 gate card I made using a sketch from Gloria Stengel. I wanted to give this card a cottage country feel to it, to match the lovely image. The front consists of 3 layers and ribbon. Each side of the gate card was layered exactly the same to give the illusion of one same layer. Once that was done, I attached various elements to the left side of the gate, starting with a square made of the largest die from Gold Elements One (cut in half and attached together again to form the square). On top of it I placed my framed image and the little banner and sentiment. To finish the card I added some crystals and a double bow with long tails.

I hope you enjoyed this card too. Please stop by Hiding in my Craft Room and join our celebration.
