It’s challenge time at There She Goes and this week Jessie challenged us to make a card or project using an animal theme.
Now the children went back to school this morning after our week’s half term break and I am still a little shell shocked after a fun but busy week. Sooooo I needed a little help this morning getting started and turned to the amazing Chupa for inspiration! Chupa is still managing to knock out fabulous cards despite moving house this weekend. How does the girl do it! I loved Chupa’s design on this card here and used the layout in it’s entirity just swopping out colours and stamps. It felt good to get inky while still trying to find my own mojo. Thanks Chupa!

Please excuse the rather odd lighting, you wouldn’t believe how dull the day is here today – I struggled to even get a focused picture, so this is as good as it gets I’m afraid.

OMG, I love your card!! What a cute peacock and I love the bright colors! The patterned grass was an unexpected but nice touch.
Debby this is sooo cute! I love your coloring. Did you use the distress inks to color them in? And did you use a blender or a water pen? What are you talking about with the lighting? This picture is perfect! :)
This card just makes me smile. Adorable!
Love the colors/coloring. SUPERB!
How sweet!!! It puts a smile on my face (-: (-:
Hi Jean, I coloured the peacock with Promarkers (oops forgot to put those on the supply list!) and then used Distress Inks to bring in colour from the edges of the panel :)
Such a bright and colorful card! The stamps are adorable too!
So fun! Love the patterned paper grass and the way you’ve layered your clouds. Such a great LO!
I love this card, Debby! I really like the patterned paper grass against the “greener” background. It really works! The colours are gorgeous, they work perfectly together. Oh, and I think you found your mojo while putting this card together, it’s great!
