Rhymes with Ogg???

The parameters this week for Craft Roulette were: bookbinding card, candy colors, rhymes with ogg, lettering. I am not a big fan of the bookbinding fold, but I really had fun with the rhyming parameter. I made a cat and I learned that in Australia mog is a term for a cat. my cat is on a log with a frog. I hand drew the frog and cut him out. I made so many changes over the course of this card with layout, colors, sentiment. I colored first with alcohol markers and I did not like the result at all. Me and alcohol markers do not mix. for the final image,I used my Tim Holtz watercolor, pencils and got a much better result. The stamps were a bargain from the used craft store 2.50 for those cute cats!

Not another Zoyfold!

On the Craft Roulette challenge this weekend, the wheel made us do a card with three folds! I am not good with these fancy fold type cards. The only thing I could think was to re-create another Zoyfold card, which was required a few weeks ago by Mr. Wheel. A zoyfold is a combination of a Z food and a Joy fold card. I must admit, they are kind of fun. I liked the way this turned out and I probably should use Reid more often. The parameters were: a card with three folds, sweater colors, footwear, and a Post-it note. I colored with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol.
