RAINBOW LADY CHALLENGE 183

This weeks Rainbow Lady Challenge is...Angels

This is my DT entry

The angel scene is from Joanna Sheen's Enchanted Dreams CD. The backing paper if from CaroLines Starry Papers Collection 1.
I created a dark blue border for the image and then it was printed on to card. Then I reversed the image and printed it on to acetate.The paper was faded slightly and printed on to paper.
I cut the oval from the acetate print and backed it with sticky-backed glitter 'paper'. The oval was cut out from the card image to create a frame.
The backing paper was glued to blue mirror card and the acetate oval glued in the centre. I put a 'halo' of glitter round the oval.
The frame was fixed over the oval with dss pads. Four bells were punched from pearl card and glued to the card.

RAINBOW LADY CHALLENGE

This week's Rainbow Lady Challenge is Trees and Baubles

This is my DT entry

Unfortunately the colours are a bit washed out in the photo.

The card uses digital designs from CaroLines Christmas Silhouettes Sepia 1 kit and a snowflake corner from Christmas Silhouettes Sepia 2 kit.

You will need a computer graphics programme such as My Craft Studio or Serif craftArtist.

I usually start with the central images and build the papers etc around it, so this the order for it's creation:

1.  Import the Xmas tree into the graphics programme and re-size. Import the peach paper with blue stars and re-size to surround the tree. Add a tree top star from the digis if wished.

2. Import one of the bauble sets and resize and position on the tree. Import the brown paper, re-size to make a border.

3. Import the peach paper with brown stars, re-size and surround the image. Import the blue paper and make a border.

4.  Import the peach gradient paper and surround image. Import, re-size and position the snowflake corner.

Mirror image the corner, and then rotate to fit one in each corner. Finally import the brown paper and make another border.



5. Print one copy of the whole image on to card. Then 'break apart' and print out various sections and layer over the whole card with dsst pads. Print 3 of the tree with baubles. Squeeze a blob of Glossy Accents on to each bauble and sprinkle with glitter on one of the trees. Score and fold each tree in half, layer and glue one over th other...with the glittery tree being the last. For the tree top star you can either glue a sequin or print one of the digi stars when you are building up the card.

Embellish card with small star sequins and more glitter.

To frame the photo I used 2 designs from Pam LeFors, then printed the picture on to card. The backing paper was from Peerless Designs Cuddle Upz (Meerkats set).

The photo was mounted on to a gold pearl white card and the paper on to textured white card. The border punched with a Martha Stewart punch.
