Playing With Digis

I am sure you recall I said I was not that great at using digis but last week just for fun I did some experimenting with Paint 3-D and made the background for this Christmas card using the Toyland Bear set from Jan's Digital Stamp Shop. Now forgive me if my background isn't too great but this is my first rodeo more or less with trying to do the layering with a computer. But for a first time I am feeling pretty confident I might be able to do it again if I can remember how I did it in the first place. LOL


The images come pre-colored or in the black open version but for this card I chose to use the pre-colored designs. Once I had my background made with the one pine bough repeated I then used the Paint 3-D to add a computer generated sentiment over it. I layered this design onto red and white card stock layers and then after that I fussy cut the bear and toys out and added them at the bottom.

I am entering this in Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge #1-Anything Goes Jan's Digi Stamps. I hope all of you with more experience then I will forgive my feeble effort to do a layered computer generation. And, my printer is getting low on ink so the printing was not that great either. But I do feel that perhaps there is room for digitals in my crafting life now.

Thanks for visiting and I love to see your opinion.

God bless,
Verna

What an accomplishment. I know the feeling and the struggle, but when it is done, a great success. What program are you using with your digi's?

Wow, wow, WOWOW! Verna, your card is absolutely darling! Beautifully layered branches, and that vibrant teddy bear. I especially like the way you placed those berries. Verna, you have done what I try to do every day, and that is learn something new. And like you, I often forget how I did something the next time I want to do it, so I must repeat the process, no matter what it is. WONDERFUL card! And now for my other hat: So happy I got to see your creation at Jan’s Digi Stamp Challenges . Thanks for the inspiration, and I hope to see more of your designs soon.
Smiles,
Donna

Well you are way ahead of me on the digitals! I can only use Word for my digis and I can't do anything too complicated! Way to go, Verna! It turned out adorable!

Your background came out great! Trying to learn a new skill can be very challenging but so rewarding when you finally get it!! Well done!

That's some cool layering with the bear and background! I've never heard of Paint 3D, I must be living under a rock anymore! LOL

I hope there will be room in your life for digis because they do open up a whole new world, cost so little, and are fun to play with! A person doesn't have to choose between one or the other... you can have both stamps and digis. I've never tried Paint 3-D, but it looks to me like you've figured it out. You did a pretty amazing job on this, Verna!
