Crafty Calendar Challenge - Animal Antics

It's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge and our theme for this month is Animal Antics.

We are lucky enough to be sponsored by Cuddly Buddly and the prize they are offering is an amazing £25 gift certificate.  Cuddly Buddly ship worldwide and stock 100's of amazing European products.  You will also find everything you will need for your digital crafting!  What a choice!



The design team were lucky enough to be provided with some fabulous images to work with, and here is my card using the image Toby Tumble Just Saying Hi. (If you click on the name of the image, it will take you straight to it in the Cuddly Buddly store).


Image printed onto Neenah card and coloured using Spectrum Noir pens.  I cut around the image and added to the card using foam pads to add dimension.
Oval die cut from blue cardstock (Papermill) using Spellbinders Floral Oval die, then embossed using a Darice embossing folder from Crafters Companion.  I went over the clouds with a white ink pad but this doesn't show up very well in the photo.
I used a backing paper from my stash which had come free with a magazine quite some time ago!  This was matted onto some dark brown cardstock from Papermill.
I used orange and brown ribbon from Create and Craft to pick out the colours of the sunflower.
I created the three sunflower heads using Martha Stewart paperclay and a silicone mold I purchased from Amazon.

I hope you'll visit the challenge blog to see the lovely cards my team mates have created.  I'm sure you'll agree it's well worth entering our challenge with the chance to win such a fabulous prize.
