An Apple a Day

This card is for the CDAC Progressive Challenge, 7, Which ends in a couple of days.  The digital image of the apple is from Heart Song Designs.  The apple is colored with copics. The sentiment is from Micheals, The green apple is a button, I cut the shank off the back.  The embossing is a folder from Crafts-Too you.  A quick card as I have been busy babysitting, and my computer is not working (thank goodness my husband has one too.)

The Honey Bear

Isn't he just the sweetest little bear!  The digital image is from Sew Many Cards for CDAC Progressive Challenge, series 7.  This is my second card for this series.  I colored the bear and the tree with copics, added some Glossy accents and used a photo of the sky that I took from the back of our house.  The sentiment was computer generated.

Had a houseful of family for the weekend, 7 children, 3 adults.  So I was very busy for a few days, and then on Monday, when I went to use my computer it wouldn't let me download pictures or print.  I am using my husbands computer until I can get mine fixed, but I will have a six month old here for the next fours days.  I will have to try to get my other cards done when he is napping, or after he goes to bed at night.

Comments are appreciated, thanks for looking!

The Snowboarder

This is a card for my thirteen year old grandson, Jarrod - he snowboards and skis in the winter - which means he will be out there soon.  I colored the trees and the snowboarder with copics.  I put glitter on the mountain top and snowpen on the area where the snowboarder is standing.  I didn't like the effect of either one, so I covered them both with white Gesso.  (Actually when heating the white from the snowpen it turned brown in one spot - too much heat!).  The sky is colored with Distress Ink with a brush.  The DP is from Basic Grey.  Sometimes it's hard to find an image for a boy this age, so I was pleased when I came across this one from Guylou.
