The last of my animal sunset cards

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world, and if it isn't I hope it soon will be...hugs

We have wall to wall blue skies here at the moment, but it is deliciously chilly!

I have made 8 of these animal sunset cards and these are the last two to share with you. I have had enormous pleasure making them :o)

All my own photographs and artwork of course.

All of them are photographs taken some years ago, the horse being one of my favourites.

Both basecards are white linencard folded and cut to nearly 6x6.

Artwork printed onto Kodak Everyday photopaper, and matted with Papermania black textured card.

Group of horses cut from the same black card with my Cricut, using the 

Animal Kingdom cart.

Foliage cut with Memory Box die.

Sentiment printed in MS Word and punched with SU punch.

I really do not want to part with them :o)

A couple more of my merged sunsets

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all as well as you can be...hugs

I have two more sunset cards to share with you today, only two more to go LOL.

The sunset and owl photographs were taken by me some years ago, but the giraffes photograph was taken by my good friend PatEssex (Docrafts). 

Merged in the same way as my previous ones and printed onto Kodak Everyday photocard 160gsm (ideal for decoupage).

Basecard is my usual white linencard, folded and cut to just under 6x6.

Artwork cropped to size and layered onto black mat.

Owl and giraffe silhouettes cut with the Cricut using Animal Kingdom cart and Papermania black textured card.

I have really enjoyed making this set :o)

Been playing again

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs

Sorry to be a party pooper, but I am not enjoying all this heat, bring back lower temperatures say I.....

I've been playing with some of my sunset photographs from a while ago and my cards for today are the result. I am in the process of making a set of 6, these are the first 2. I realise they may not be to everyone's taste, but I am pleased with them :o)

If I remember correctly, the cat and the elephant are from my very old CorelDraw software (bought about 20 years ago) and I converted them in PSP7 (also bought around 20 years ago) to png then in SCAL so I could cut them out on my very old little Cricut.

I opened my sunset photographs in PSP7, then added the animal images and 

shadowed them.

I printed the pics onto Kodak Everyday Picture Paper which is 160 gsm and semigloss.

Black mats are Papermania textured card and the silhouetts are cut from the same card.

Computer generated sentiments cut with SU punches.

I hope you enjoy them as I really enjoyed playing :o)

Heritage page

Good sunny Saturday morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs

I went out last night on my usual Friday night session with crafting friends and halfway there the heavens opened and the winscreen wipers could hardly cope!!! Thank goodness it only lasted for half an hour or so!!!!!

Before that, I went and bought myself a new camera! My big Nikon DSLR with the large lens on was getting to heavy for me to carry around, so I chose a Fujifilm bridge camera and what a bargain it was with £100 off. Had I have bought it last week I when I was first looking,  I would have paid that much more!!! I am hoping to get out on Sunday and play :o)

Anyhow, I am waffling so I will get on with it. Here is my offering for today, it is so long since I did a heritage page.

I wanted to keep it simple, I love these photographs of my Paternal Grandparents.

I printed them onto Kodak semigloss photopaper Then cut with Spellbinders dies.

Backing sheet is 12x12 from Sassafrasslass and it has been in my stash for many years. I haven't bought any papers for well more than 5 years!

Of course, I had to use the Memory Box Chloe Stem to fit in with the paper design.

Brown card is pearlised from stash, I think it was from PDA a long time ago. I found a box of cream 120 gsm paper in stash and used it for the journalling, cutting them out with  Die-namics fishtail dies. 

I promise you the text is clearer IRL than it is here. I used Vivaldi font :o)
