LADY ANNE'S CHALLENGE NO 6 - 'SPRING' THEME


Hello there my blog friends - I just wanted to post my first DT card today.   There is a new challenge over on Lady Anne's 'Stamp' Challenge No 6 - http://www.ladyanneschallenges.com/stamp-challenge.html.  The theme is Anything Goes and here is my card - a Chameleon in his rainforest home!!  The digi is from Crafting with Jack -http://craftingwithjack.weebly.com/.   They are the sponsors for this challenge which runs from February 20 right up until April 3 2013.  The winner will be drawn using a Random Number Generator on April 3.  You can use either a digi stamp or rubber stamp - the world is your lobster - lol.


I chose the chamelon from the digis we were given because he is unusual and not my normal sort of style.  However, I did add my cheeky side with the sentiment which was a freebie on Ginger's House blog.


Of course hubster had his input and wanted a fly in there for the chameleon's tea so I found a teeny tiny one on the internet (freebie site) and fussy cut it out - just to please him!!


This final pic is just to show how I have piled the leaves up on the front of the image.  I think I could have put more leaves around 'Ken' the chameleon instead of sky - but it is spring in the rainforest!!!!!

  6. Hi Sue,
    my little warbling friend. Now this is another superb card and superbly designed may I add.
    Love all the wonderful array of colours used. Even if Ken the chemeleon doesn't like that fly,
    I'm sure Pidgy would be extremely pleased with it. lol. Our hubbies do come in useful with their input into the blog. Remember when mine suggested the tea inside the tea cup. A husband is not just a handy man but a good judge of how to make your cards sing. lol.
    Is Mr carpet free of the crafts stuff yet? lol.
    Have a wonderful crafty warbling day.
    Lots of crafty warbling love. Jenny L.
