Deep Ocean Challenges DT Card

Hellooooo everyone, hope you all had a fabulous Christmas, we had a smashing one.

Sorry I've been MIA recently, there has been so much going on at home with different members of the family as well as a new puppy & things have been hectic & stressful at times lol.....mmm maybe I should consider Yoga lol.

Anyway I totally forgot about my DT card yesterday for Deep Ocean Challenges & this one is soooooooo darn easy.....in fact its that easy you dont even have to make anything!!!

Your Favourite Card/Project Of 2017

......yep, just upload your favourit card/project to Deep Ocean Challenges & make a post on your blog....easy peasy!!

Now I have a few favourites, although in all honesty not that many, I think I've had an off year to be honest lol.

However as most fo you know boys/men cards are my least favourite but this one I did very early in the year & I even used copics....for the first time in a very VERY long time. In fact I sold my original set & had to buying new ones again lol.

I love this image, Mo Manning does the best boy images dont you think. Ok she does a LOT of darn good images.

I was actually happy with this boy card, happy with the colouring (which is rare lol) yes it wasnt perfect by a long long way but not bad, happy with colours, papers, layout..........this really is a rarity lol!!

So has its not often I do male cards I decided this would be my favourite for 2017 & in 2018 I will make more male cards lol.

For the original post which also has the colours listed click here.

Will be back on New Years Eve peeps, til then take care & thanks for stopping by.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Ok so now here is my card.

I have used Dutch Doobadoo 'Shape Art Circle' for the shape of my card.

Here is a flat view to show you a better view of the LDRS Basic Builder's Die Set, not only does it cut but it embosses too. This really is an awesome set that will be fantastic for all sorts of crafts & cards, whether you like fancy or CAS, this set will be invaluable.

I have cut every piece out & cut everything twice, 1 in white card & another in kraft card & layered them up........ I love this set & have a feeling it will be used a lot!!!

The image is a new stamps from LDRS Saturated Canary called 'Sweatshirt Saturday' & I fussy cut her out & popped 3d foam pads to her & placed her onto LDRS 'Lovely View' die which was also cut out twice in the same cardstock & layered up slightly off centre to each other.

I coloured her up with distress amrkers & distress ink refills which you can also get from Noor Design UK.

Sorry about the bad photo, my camera batteries went flat but I will take another photo later today once the batteries are charged up.

I made an easel card & used more of the dies on the bottom. The mini doily is from my stash as is the butterfly.

The sentiment is from Joy Crafts 'There Are No Little Dreams' Clear stamp set. I also placed 'CheeseCloth' under the image. The leaves either side the image were cut out using Joy Crafts 'Vintage Flourishes Leaf die (1)' & again I cut it out with white card & kraft card. I took the centre from each leaf & placed it into the opposite colour leaf.....i.e. the white centre went into the kraft leaf & the kraft centre went into the white leaf, I think it helps make it stand out a wee bit more.

The large flower in the centre each side is Joy Crafts White & Cream Flowers 20pcs.

Well that's from me, but if you hop along to Dorinda next you will see more inspiration & dont forget to leave comments along the way. You have to be in it to win it as they say & there are some great prizes to be won. So enjoy the hop & enjoy the inspiration everyone has created.

Good luck.
