Happy Birthday James!

Hello.

Today is James' birthday! I have made him an accordion card using an idea I've had for a while. When I saw Cookie Guy and Superhero from Kenny K I wanted to make a card based on Superman changing in the phone booth. Since James is a comic book fan I wanted to wait for his birthday to make it. I found the phone booth image on a blog called Beyond the Fringe.

The change takes place over three pages of the card. The first page shows the Cookie Guy, the second is the Telephone Booth with the blur of colour inside as he changes to be the Superhero who appears on the third page. I thought it would be fun to have the sentiment spread over all three pages too.

For each image I created a background to match. Cookie Guy has games console controllers, the Telephone Booth has numbers as they are on a phone key pad, and the Superhero has stars.

I added some gloss to Cookie Guy's glasses, and the Telephone Booth is laid over acetate so that they both look more like glass. To finish each panel I added some faux stitching around the edges.

CYDI? Challenge #29 - Love is in the Air

Hello.

The new challenge at Can You Digi It? starts today. With Valentine's day being this week our theme fittingly is love. For my card I used the camera image from Photography Set A by Annie J Designs. I added a sentiment using the Typewriter alphabet by Hobbycraft. Pictures of You is a song by The Cure which is one of mine and James' favourite songs. 

Nine Years!

Hello.

Today James and I are celebrating nine years together! When browsing the Kenny K store recently I came across the Spaced image and knew what I wanted to do for James' card. We are both big Star Wars fans, so I based my card around that. The sentiment comes from the scene where Leia tells Han she loves him and he replies with 'I know'.

Hello.

This is the calender I have made for James. I added fingerprints to each month on the calender, as well as all over the background. The zombie is from Make It Crafty, although he doesn't appear to still be on the site. I created the writing using the typewriter alphabet from Hobbycraft.

Skelekinz Thank You

Hello.

I haven't really felt like creating much this week, so I'm sharing a card which I didn't share when I made it, just so my blog doesn't get lonely. This card was made for James' friend who has helped him out with driving a few places since he can't drive himself at the moment. 

31 Day Card Challenge - Day 27

Hello.

Day 27 is the second of the sketch challenges in the 31 Day Card Challenge. For this card I used three of the Bear Heroes from Doodle Dragon Studios. The other panel has a sentiment on which I made using the Typewriter alphabet set from Hobbycraft. They are all backed on a superhero themed paper which was in my scraps.

Love

Hello.

I recently got some half size post it notes. I've been playing around with them and trying a few masking techniques. For this card I placed a strip of the post it's across the card then used my brayer to colour the rest of the card. In the gap left by the post it's I stamped the sentiment using the the Typewriter alphabet from Hobbycraft.
