A Wild Birthday at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

I'm back again with some more inspiration for The Paper Shelter. This week we are asking you to use images featuring Furry Friends.

It will be my daughter's birthday soon and she loves saber-toothed tigers, so I have used 'Cute Cave Girl' for an easel card. 

I die-cut and layered card for the top background and created my own background paper in Photoshop for the bottom of the easel.

I fussy-cut the image and adhered with 3D foam tape for some dimension.

Animals aren't my favourite thing to colour, but I think this one turned out well.

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!

You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.

Enjoy Life Sip By Sip

Hello Crafty Peeps,

I bought some fruity papers a while ago and haven't really used them {shocking for a crafter I know}, but I saw a yellow/lemon challenge when I was scrolling and thought it was a good excuse to break them out. 

I have used 'Tea For The Soul' by Graciellie to make a quick motivational quote card, as it matches the paper perfectly. 

I love having 'just because' cards in my stash as they're great to grab at any time a friend could use a little cheer.

Thank you for stopping by today. Please come back soon!

Beach Yourself at The Paper Shelter

Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's time for another challenge at The Paper Shelter and this week we are asking you to Get Outside, so use those outdoor activity images for any kind of craft.

I have gone for a non-traditional summer image 'Witch On A Beach' - Witches aren't just for Halloween, they need a vacation too!

I did something I haven't done before, and merged the pre-coloured background 'paper' with the uncoloured image to create a full scene. I think it turned out really well, so I will be using this technique again.

I used 3D Gloss to give some shine to the sunglasses
