First Ever Challenge

I created this card for the challenge over at Flaunt It Fridays.

The challenge was to create anything with the turtle cut from the 'Create A Critter' cartridge on page 64. They had challenged participants to create something other than a card but this wasn't required.


The Card
·         Card base:
o   Cut from creamy brown coloured cardstock
o   Circle card base cut at 5” (12.6cm) from Wild Card (blackout feature on page 48)
o   Inked (around edges) with Versa Colour ‘Pinecone’ brown ink
·         Card Layers:
o   Red layer - cut at approx 4¾” (12.3cm) with faux stitching around edge using a white gel pen. This layer was also lightly inked (can’t really tell) with Versa Colour ‘Cardinal’ ink
o   Yellow layer – Cut at approximately 4 6/16” (11.2cm) and inked orange with Versa Colour ’Topaz’ ink
o   Flower layer – Cut at approximately 4 2/16” (10.5cm) and inked around edge with Versa Colour ‘Bamboo’ ink. Paper is from October Afternoon – Farm Fresh: Farmhouse
o   Sentiment Layer – Cut approximately at 4” (?) and ripped. Paper is reverse side of the flower paper (spotty side)
·         Sentiment:
o   Stamp – “Thinking of You” (unsure of brand)
o   Ink – StazOn ‘Timber Brown’
·         Turtle:
o   Cut at 4” and attached using 3D foam squares
o   First layer (body layer) cut using normal turtle body (no feature buttons) and inked lightly with Versa Colour ‘Bamboo’ ink. Face drawn on using black felt tip pen and small googly eyes glued on using Glossy Accents
o   Second layer (shell layer) cut using ‘Layer 2’ feature button. Inked with Versa Colour ‘Olive’ ink and embossed using Cuddlebug ‘Mesh Texture’ embossing folder
