Challenge #237 - "Animal Magic" - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well can you believe that we are already nearly two months gone this year, and Im looking forward to the warmer weather luckily my daffodils are already coming out and they must be one of my most favourite flowers I love the bright yellow of them.
And our theme this week is all about "Animals" if your like me no doubt you will have lots of images and wont have a problem using them.
Anyway Im chatting to much and you will want me to get on, anyway as always our very special generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website.


But this is providing you have used one of their products on your card and this could be either a Image, Paper or Printable and you will find lots to choose from at The Paper Shelter Website here, and even if you dont use one of these they will still give you 3 digi images of your own choice. But we only allow 3 entries into our Challenges and at least one of those must use on of The Paper Shelter products.
And now for the reveal of my card


This image is called "Team Work" and you will find it here, I printed it onto white card before colouring it with my copic pens, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Dies to cut it out and layered it up onto black and red mounts to.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of black and then a red mount the paper I have used is from the Papermania "Oriental" paper pack and as it wasnt as wide as the base mount I have used a piece of red lace down the edge to disguise it, I then stamped and layered up a sentiment which was placed in the bottom right hand corner. The mounted image was then placed towards the left of the card and three gems were placed down the right hand side on the red edge.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Animal Magic" Challenge.

This young man is called "Gaming Andy" you will find him here, and Im sure you can relate to him very easily if your own son is addicted to playing his gaming machine. I printed him onto white card
then coloured him with my copic pens, afterwards I used the Little B's Square die to cut him out and a larger fancy one for the mount out of blue card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of blue card, the papers are also from Pink Gem Designs and this set is titled "Boys Toys" and you will find them here. I have used two papers the first a polka dot one with a blue background and the second a yellow backed zig zag design which was placed on a piece of blue card and placed down the left hand side. I used a papercraft die to cut out the sentiment which was placed at the bottom on the right hand side.

And Im lucky as I have all Nikki's Cds and Im able to choose any of the images on them and this is the one I chose to use.

And here is the Card I made for this Challenge
