New monthly challenge at Dragons Lair Designs

Today sees the start of the new challenge at Dragons Lair Designs and this month the theme is: It’s a zoo out there! So let’s see what animals you can come up with.

Materials used:
Dragons Lair Designs – Sitting Cat Digi Stamp
Dragons Lair Designs – Animal Magic (Cat) Mini Kit 
Clarity Stamp – Poppies and Field Mice Set
acrylic greetings stamp
printer card
X-Press It card
Copic pens
UTEE and Versamark pad
white A5 card blank

The card blank has been cut and scored to make a double easel card.

The backing papers are printed from the mini kit onto printer card. The frame is also from the mini kit and has been printed at the required size with the sitting cat inside it on X-Press It card.  A second copy of the sitting cat along with a couple of smaller versions have been printed out, fussy cut and then embossed with Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel.

The edge of the frame was masked off with post-it notes and the poppies stamped in then another poppy image stamped on the remaining card. Both poppy images have been coloured with Copics.  The second poppies image has been trimmed to size to fit the smaller panel and the greeting stamped on the bottom with black ink.

The large embossed cat image has been attached over the base image with foam pads adn the two smaller cats have been stuck to the inside to form the panel stoppers.

I hope you will come along and have a go at our challenge yourself. There are prizes to be won! If you need inspiration here are some useful links:
