hi there,
Bringing you the Center Stage Spotlight's Treasure Chest Blog Hop - using an Animal Theme.
GKD has so many adorable animal sets that it was really hard to chose.
The theme for the Treasure Chest hops will change every time and this time around it's the Animal Kingdom. We are paying tribute to the animal kingdom by creating cards and projects of animals from GKD. Hope you'll be able to play along.
To make sure you are on the Blog Hop right track - you should have come from the jaw dropping blog of Karen Knegten and if you want to start at the beginning - head over to STV and start from there.
I chose sets by Theresa Momber. I love all of her designs!
Used this week's GKD - Sketch Challenge layout for this first one
Did some dry embossing using THoltz's Dot Matrix folder, cut out the trees (made the reverse tree using reverse blank stamp), nestie Fancy Tag...colored with Copics C1, C3...E31, 35...R39...Y06...YR09...G00, 07, 28...BG13, 18...
Base cardstock is GKD's All Spruced Up - the rest is stash designer paper...
the sky and grass are done with chalk
After I cut out Dino - added Glossy Accents and popped him up on dots!
and I even did the inside !
Inks used were SU's Not Quite Navy, Creamy Caramel and Summer Sun, Memento's Black and Rich Cocoa. Flamingo colored with Prismacolor markers PM8,53,61,208
Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (March 1st), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs who will get a stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95!
Now the next stop is over to the wonderfully talented Lori McAree
Hope your enjoying the hop,
hugs
