Second inspirational post for today...Jungle Party anyone!

Hello again,

Phew, this is the second of two inspirational posts from me today using the glorious images by Tamara at Slinky Tart
If you missed the first post just scroll back down to the post before this one...its a steampunk make and you won't want to miss it!

For this one, I've used one of my all time fav's from Slinky Tart - she's called Better than Tarzan! and I think she is just delicious!

Jungle Party!  using the gorgeous image, Better than Tarzan!

Matching insert; the papers are My Minds Eye
Here's the how and what:
Image: Better than Tarzan by Slinky Tart
Papers and stuff: the papers are My Minds Eye (Wildflower) and I cut out the birds from the papers!  Then I used a Di'sire Ivy Die to cut out the leaves also using the MME paper's.  I then used Rangers Distress Stickles to add texture to the leaves and a little around the card and then used a lazer cut word also covered in stickles.  All of this and more can be found at That Craft Place shop (remember they have a FB shop too!)
Oh and I have coloured her with my Copic's, I'm in a green phase I think! lol  The main pens used were G95, G 97 and G99
Top Tip: I used the warm grey's around the outside of the image, starting with W5 close to the image, then blending in W3 (best to do this twice to make sure you get the line out, I missed a bit at the top! oops) and then finally blending out with W1 to fade.  It gives a really soft backing to the image and works with most colours if you just experiment on scrap to get the shades right first x

Here's the close ups - lots!  I wanted to show the depth from just cutting the papers!:




Multi layer punched butterflies to add dimension - another Top Tip lol


Distress Stickles really do add another texture!
