Hey Stampers! Happy Thursday! Today I have something a little different for you. I took the Three Little Pumpkins stamp. When I was setting it up to print, I made the image 4 1/2 x 5 1/2. I then I went to page setup choose the layout tab and I changed the Vertical Alignment to Bottom. What this did was move the image to bottom of the page. I did this because when I folded the card stock I wanted the fold to be above the image. I had a picture of what I wanted in my head and knew once I colored the image, I would trim out around the image. So the coloring was done using my Copic Markers. I used the following:
Pumpkins: Y23 & YR16
Eyes: Y08 & Y15
Leaves/Stems YG17 & YG25
Shelf: E33, E37, & E39
Banner; BV04, BV06, & BV08
I added some high lights with my white Signo Uni Ball gel pen. I put clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen on the eyes and then covered them with Glossy Accents. I also added some sparkle to the banner. I will be honest the colors on the banner came out darker than I planned but I think it still works.
So when I was cutting out the card, I originally just wanted a different shaped card but then when I was cutting I decided to do something different. I thought if I made it so it stood up, it could be used as a decoration for a desk, place marker on a table, or to mark food, candy, etc on a buffet or table.
I took side view and bottom view photos so you can see what it looks like. Instead of trimming out the white between the shelf legs, I folded them down and then adhered them together. I did this to make the card sturdier which would make it stand up better. I am so in love with this release from Heartcraft Paper, everything is fabulous! Here are the extra photos. Pardon the mess, I didn't edit these like I normally do!
Also wanted to mentioned that you still have eight days to enter a project for the Anything Goes Challenge on the blog.
Thank you for stopping by!
Come and create something with me!
