Missing You

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have another card for you today. This time I made it with a window and a cute lion on the other side.

 

 

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Safari Lion, Classic Arched Window),

- Distress Inks,

- white card base (15x15 cm),

- white card stock for die cuts,

- watercolor paper for background (14x14 cm),

- pencil,

- paper cutting knife,

- black pen,

- white pen,

- scissors,

- plastic foil,

- folding bone,

- plastic stencil (clouds),

- sentiment stamp,

- acrylic block,

- black pigment ink,

- adhesive foam pads,

- paper glue. 

First I cut the window with the die. I used scissors next and straighten the edges. I used this as a stencil to draw the shape of the window on the watercolor paper I trimmed in advanced.

Next I cut another two windows and the lion. I color all the pieces and glued it together.

Then I cut out the window using a cutting knife.

Then I put a piece of foil between two windows and glued it together. Before that I folded the smaller parts of the window so that I can glued the window to the background.

Next I colored the background directly to the card base. I used a plastic stencil to color the sky.

Then I used a bit of color to emphasize the edges of the background. I also shaded around the edges of the open window.

After that I added the sentiment.

 

 

And then I just put all the pieces together on the card base. I used adhesive foam pads to glue the background on the card base. Last I added the lion. And my card was done. 

That's all from me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.
