Hi everyone...a rather quick post today. I made this card using 2 of the stamps from Dog Gone Stamps. Look at these guys, tee hehehe, they are so cute. How talented Brian is to be able to make a rattle snake so adorable! The recipe is in the card gallery.
I wanted to make a card using some of the DGS images today because....Nancy was so generous to donate 5....Yup...that's right FIVE stamps to booty! WOW, she picked them herself and they are traveling to me as we "speak" Ha ha...and I will post a picture of them as soon as they arrive.
Before getting to the dessert, I have this appetizer for you!
Aren't these guys just the cutest! Nancy put the Caterpillar in my order as a surprise, isn't she sweet! The very first think I thought of with the 2 images is the book "Are You My Mother?" Bwaaahahaha I just could not come up with a way to make a card like that and have something to actually use it for. I mean...you wouldn't give it to your mom for Mother's Day, right.
Here is the other idea that came to my mind. Now I think this is perfect for Father's Day or Mother's day or a Birthday for parents, an older sibling or a friend. Actually there are so many things this card could be used for, I think every one should have both of these images, LOL.
Here are a few smaller pictures to show a bit more of the detail. You can click on any of the photos to see them full size.
You can see that this is a tri-fold card. You also can see the dimension of the images if you click the photo.
The snake starts with one dimensional at then head, I added another layer as the tail starts and finished with the rattle actually having 3 layers of dimensionals. The Caterpillar is the same but backward. He starts with one at the tail, ending with 3 at the head. What I wanted to do is give the appearance that they are looking at each other, LOL, and the snake is actually shaking his rattle, HA! In person it looks pretty cool.
I covered the snake with Twinkle H2O's after coloring him. When the card is moved, he shimmers different colors depending on the light. Some light green, some pearl, kind of like a real snake would (YUCK, Tee he he). It was really hard to capture a picture of it but in the larger photo you get a glimpse of it. You can not see just how pretty it is, though, and how it really covers all of him. The Caterpillar is dressed with flocking. How cute is that! I actually got the idea for the flocking from this post on Melanie Muenchinger's blog Hand, Head and Heart.
OK...Onto dessert. Yesterday I promised a picture of the Stampin' Up set up for grabs. Here it is.....
Isn't that just gorgeous??? And it matches the level 1 set "Dear Friend" in the current cattie. You could put them together and it would look like they are one set. Loooooove IT!!!!
