Cricut 360 Challenge #4- The Great Outdoors

Yeah- it's Friday again and that means another Cricut 360 Challenge.

This week the challenge is create a card or layout with the great outdoors in mind.

I went straight to my Camp Out Cartridge and found a great moon, owl and tree branch.

 

Yes, you are correct. That is not the owl from the Camp Out cartridge.

When I started cutting and piecing everything together the owl I had chosen just did  not have the feel I wanted - almost looked too scary.

So I started searching my gypsy for owls and found this adorable one on the Sentimentals cart.

I trimmed off his tail and glued it behind the branch so he would look more dimensional sitting on the tree branch. I then put pop dots behind the owl body and more behind his eyes- I wanted them really to stand out. 

I am happy with my little owly friend.

Please hope over to Cricut 360 and check out all the other inspiration projects and please give this challenge a try. I would love to see what you come up with. 

Here's how I did it...

Frosted Desings Fabulous Friday challenge -Vintage Photos/Pictures

This weeks challenge at Frosted Designs is Vintage photos/pictures.

 

This card is a vintage picture of an old 4th of July postcard.

You can find several sites online that have old postcard images to print.

I just sized the frame to fit the image and chalked it up.

I hope you will stop over to see what the rest of the DT has to share with you and link up a project. I would love to see what you can do. 

Here's How I did it...

Card is basic A2 size

Printed old post card online and trimmed to size I wanted

Frame is from Lacy Labals sized on my gypsy to get the right size. Copied another one on top a bit smaller to make the frame

Bird/layers cut from Sentimentals cartridge
