Beccy's Place Day 5 - E is for . . .

 I'm playing along with the

Tenth Annual
Month of Holiday Cards Challenge


~~~*~~~*~~~

(Beccy's post with "E" inspiration words and
sweet eggnog card to inspire are HERE)

My "E" project is an Emu ... actually it's a mob of emus.

The fun Emu Parade image is from the Emu Parade digital stamp set from the Beccy's Place Store, the Merry Christmas sentiment from the same set.  I printed the image on textured cardstock and coloured the mob with alcohol markers.  I know, textured cardstock is not the "right" one for use with alcohol markers but there's not a lot of shading and I love the texture with their feathers.


   


I originally planned this card to be a 5" x 7" side fold but changed things up by adding a flat-folding-easel to the back of the card so that it stands up like a top folding card.  I will make a small sentiment panel to fit above the easel on the back of the card.

    I print on whatever I feel like, Tracy... sometimes you get awesome effects by doing something a bit different, and your card is a great example of that. I think you've done an amazing job with the colouring, those emus look fantastic. Love the way you've placed them behind and above the sentiment panel. Great card!
    Cheers,
    Beccy
