Card Design: Pattie's Creations Challenge #164…Anything Goes

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 #165, the theme is Anything Goes. It is the perfect time to come and join us because it doesn't matter what theme your card follows, as long as you abide by all the general rules of the challenge, you can join us!


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:
  • Pearl The Penguin: You can find this image in Pattie's Etsy shop by clicking on the image name. This image has been coloured digitally and digitally 'paper' pieced in one section as well. Credits include:


Digital Embellishments:
  • The doily shape was created from a brush. This brush was designed by Sheila Reid, Pixel Scrapper.
  • The igloo and snowballs used to create the scene around Pearl are from the Winter Playground Kit created by Nathalie MacKay, owner of Kitten Scraps. The snowy look in behind the scene was created using one of the papers from this same kit and the large snowflake embellishment is also from the same kit.

OVERALL
Digital Paper Products:
  • The paper used as a background and the solid paper used as an accent, on the front and inside, are also from the Winter Playground Kit by Kitten Scraps.


 Digital Sentiment Details: 
  • The sentiments used on both the front and inside were created by Paulette from Create with TLC. For great freebies and inspiration be sure to click HERE to go to Paulette's blog and for awesome sets for purchase, click HERE to go to the home page of the store. 


Digital Embellishment Details:
  • I have used basic shapes in Photoshop Elements to create matting in behind the image (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.
