Griff The Hippogriff!

This is my second post for today, please scroll down to see my 'A Place To Start' creation xx

 Today I'm here to share my latest DT creation for 'Incy Wincy' we are sponsored by the fabulous 'Sheepski' & 'All Dressed Up' for the next fortnight. I was lucky enough to get an image from Sheepski to play with. As you know I'm on the Sheepski DT, Andrea's digi images are some of my favourite ever images & are just great to colour!

Our themes over at 'Incy Wincy' this fortnight are.....

SUMMER & BEACH
OR
ANIMALS

so get your thinking cap on & join in the fun!

I decided to use a Sheepski image I've not used before. The fabulous Hippogriff!


It does say Hippogriff at the bottom, but the glare from my light is so bad. Didn't matter how many photos I took or from what angle I got glare!
My idea for this make, was to have him look like he was in a museum. Hope that makes sense lol!!
