OK- I'll admit, my photos have been kinda junk yah? Its normally because I try to take them late at night, no good lighting in the house, so I rely on my junk flash.. My GF
Debi told me to try taking day photos- which are difficult for me because I'm usually at work. But since its a weekend, I thought I'd take her advice and try it out. Of course, I waited till the sun was going down, so I had some difficulty with shadows and coloring- my image kept looking really blue. I resorted to correcting the color on the computer. I finally got it to look like what the true image looks like in person.
Anyway, hopefully my photos will improve over time... Maybe I need some photography lessons from my GF Les... Or maybe I need to by a small photo studio! :)
OK- back to the project... Decided to enter the
Tiddlyinks challenge again this week. The challenge was to use one of their images with a pet in it. I had already bought this cute Mavis the cat stamp from
Stampinbella and thought she'd be purrrfect for this challenge. To make sure it qualified, I checked with Christy and she said that since its her artwork, she'd allow it. I didn't check with her if I could make a 3-D item, but I'm hoping this still qualifies. I couldn't resist making this watering can (template and instructions can be found
here) that I saw on
Cami's blog earlier. She did such a cute job that I had to copy her.
I decided to paper piece Mavis' dress using some scrap DP. I covered the watering can bottom with some punched grass and then added some roses. Hope you like it!
Supplies:
- Mavis Cat- Stampinbella/Tiddlyinks
- Grass punch- MS Crafts
- Roses- Wild Orchid Crafts
- Watering can template- Splitcoast Stampers
