Oh Julia!!! This one's for you!!
Yes, it only took me 3 weeks but I finally finished up my DDC that Julia (aka
Create With Me) hosted way back when. She pointed us to these adorable F-R-E-E
Dustin Pike images and we were to make a card with the Pirate Dragon and the background.
I got him all colored up and then did lots of fussy cutting. Which brings me to my
tip...
I almost always take a black marker and draw around all the cut edges of an image that I've fussy cut. It's a very subtle detail, but I like how it kind of almost looks like you cut everything out perfectly that way, no white borders where you don't want them. Plus it makes the coloring pop a little more. IMO... :)
And, on with the card..
Next it just seemed to me that this guy was a happy go lucky sort of fella, one party animal. Really. So I pulled out my SU Cheers to You set and made him a beer mug.
I added some beer foam (Liquid Applique), a little extra dripping down the side cause it's sort of sloshy on that big ship and used Crystal Effects where the glass of the mug would be. I then cut away his sword and replaced it with the mug!!
Then, I decided a party animal needs a party hat. Ya?? So I stamped a little hat from one of my $1.00 clear stamps from Michael's and added some mini pom poms. NOW we gotta party guy!! Right??
Lastly, I invited some ocean friends to the party, but so far only the crab has made it on board. He was created with Martha Stewart's little crab punch (
50% off coupon this week ladies!!). I doused him in Crystal Effects to imitate the shinny shell surface he hauls around.
So there you go!! Are these fun Digi's or what???!! :)
Hope you're enjoying your weekend!! I'm so glad you stopped by!
