http://pattiescreationschallenge.blogspot.ca

Hello there folks! I'm popping in today to announce the next challenge over at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge. This time around for Challenge #168, the theme is Anything Goes. Since the field is wide open, there is no excuse not to enter one of your cards!


General Project Info:
  • This card has been created 100% digitally and then layered in a Mock Up (courtesy of Frisk Shop). I will print it out and assemble it a later date. 


FRONT

Digital Image Details:

OVERALL
Digital Paper Products:
  • The papers used on the front and inside (as well as for paper piecing in the image) are from the Rainbow Birthday Patterns pack by Poppymoon Design (via The Hungry JPEG).


Digital Sentiment Details: 
  • The sentiments used on the front and inside are from From The Heart Stamps Mouse Balloon set. Sadly due to the death of the owner, this company has closed down.


Digital Embellishment Details:
  • I have used basic shapes in Photoshop Elements to create matting in behind the image and accents (front) and sentiment (inside).
  • I have applied shadow layer styles to give certain elements some depth. These styles were designed by Sheila Reid, Pixel Scrapper.
