Hello friends!! Today I have another card for the current Craft Roulette Challenge #293. I loved the parameters for this week and I actually had these stamp sets by Gerda Steiner Designs on my desk to use soon. They are called Caroling Woodland Friends and Woodland Holiday Friends
The parameters for this challenger were:
Project - Book Binding Card (I had never made one before)
Colors - Sandwich Shop ( I figured red and black would work or Subway colors also)
Element - Music
Random - Wrapping(s)(ing)
For the cardbase, I cut a piece of black cardstock at 5.5" x 4.25". I scored it at 4.25" and 3.25". I glued the area between the left edge of the card and the 1" score line to create my book. I glued a piece of patterned paper cut to .75" x 5.0" and glued it in the book binding space. I placed eyelets 5/8" from the top and lower edges of the card. I threaded a piece of red twine between the two eyelets and tied a bow.
For the image on the right side of the card, I decided that I would do a little stamping and masking since it was such a small area. Once I had my area stamped and masked, I ink blended on top of the masking using Tumbled Glass, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink. I heat embossed the notes above the little mouse and the sentiment with gold embossing powder. I also, spattered my sky with watered down white acrylic paint.
The most fun part of masking and inking is removing the mask. It never ceases to make me smile!
I colored in my happy little friends using Copic markers in the following colors:
- E33, E35, E37
- YG13, YG07, G07
- C0, C2, C4
- YR30, YR23, YR24, YR27
- Y06, Y35, YR16
- B00, BG01, FBG2
I am just thrilled with the way that this card turned out. I also really enjoyed learning how to make a book binding card.
