The next step was to create a card with both the outside and inside decorated, which is not something I do often.
Here's what I created!
Here's the inside:
I cheated and used a sketch from Paper Take Weekly:
My card stars the Kraftin' Kimmie's wonderful Cheshire Cat, who always makes me smile. I colored him in non-Disney colors using Copic markers in the BG and C families, which is coming up as slightly purple on the photo. His eyes have a touch of Spica Black Glitter pen to give them a mischievous sparkle. His nose has some Clear Gelly Glaze pen for a bit of dimension and shine. I sketched in the branch using a Copic Multiliner, then colored the branch with Copics.
The Cheshire Cat was stamped again onto Eclipse tape, fussy cut, then adhered over the image to protect it while I airbrushed a greenish/bluish hazy background.
The patterned papers are from several My Mind's Eye 6x6 pads from the Stella & Rose: Gertie and Hazel pads, some from the Fine & Dandy: Boy pad, and a sheet from an 8x8 Olde Curiosity Shoppe pad by Graphic 45. These are old and likely out of stock, but you can always find great papers HERE at a nice price!
I die cut white cardstock using SCACD's fabulous Breezy Branches Statement Corner die, then colored the die cut with Copic markers and popped it onto the card. I finished the outside of the card with Mint Green Kaisercraft rhinestones.
I decided to get all digital and scanned the stamped Cheshire cat, then erased everything but his smile, using PhotoElements, and printed it out onto white cardstock. Then I assembled the inside of the card using the same sketch and similar patterned papers from the pads mentioned above.
Thanks for visiting today and wish me luck! I think I'll need it!
I shall enter this card in the following challenges:
• Kraftin Kimmie: Finalists Challenge
