Noah's Ark layout



This week I decided to do a double page layout focusing on using the QUICKUTZ CLOUD 12” border die CC-BDR-032 & the QUICKUTZ RAINBOW & CLOUD Cookie Cutter dies CC-SHAPE-2-022.
On this Noah’s Ark layout I used the QUICKUTZ RAINBOW & CLOUDS die for the rainbow & also for the bottom section of the Noah’s Ark. I cut out the rainbow in shades of brown and turned it upside down to make the hull of the Ark. The port holes were made using the eyes from the QUICKUTZ ANIME MONEY REV-0186-S. I hand cut the cabin section of the Ark and used the QUICKUTZ HOUSE KS-0935 for the entrance.
I added the QUICKUTZ TREE CC-BDR-021, QUICKUTZ TREES CC-BDR-018, QUICKUTZ SUN RS-0934, some extra clouds on the pages, and finally, being the Noah’s Ark theme I scattered the following QUICKUTZ animals around the pages:- FOX KS-0891, SQUIRREL KS-0888, OWL KS-0887, HEDGEHOG KS-0890, PENGUIN KS-0602, RABBIT RS-0889, PIG KS-0525, ELEPHANT KS-0875, GIRAFFE KS-0877, LEOPARD RS-0873, DOVE KS-0590, DOLPHIN KS-0161, DOLPHIN RS-0160, DOLPHIN KS-0162, ORCA KS-0236, The Koala Bear is from the QUICKUTZ AUSTRALIA COLLECTION Cookie Cutter dies set, and the swirls in the top clouds are made from the SIZZIX SWIRLY DECORATIVE STRIP #654774.
I used BASIC GREY papers for my background pages, and inked my die cuts with TIM HOLTZ Distress Inks. This was so much fun to do - I cant wait to start my next weeks layout :-)

This layout is absolutely AWESOME!! WOW!! I LOVE IT!!

I must admit I'm struggling with the 2x2 animal dies (like the Leopard) and was wondering if you have an tips or techniques for putting them together. For example, on the Leopard, how do you adhere the spots and eyes? I Do you just put a scrap piece of black behind him? What if you want to use him as a stand-alone (in a project where you would be able to see the front and back)? I'm hoping you can help me, because I am just not seeing it (smile), and you make this look so easy!!

This layout is fantastic!! I just love all the inspiration I find on this blog!!
