Here's a card I created for the Michael Strong's Yahoo group June-July 2013
challenge - an explosion card with Cranes in flight.
This is a pop-up card, which I decorated both inside
and outside.
From the outside the card seems subtle,
yet rich in details: the embossed cranes in 2 sizes, the background papers, the
faux stitches and the colorful blings in various sizes.
But the inside reveals a whole bunch of
cranes in white and turquoise - all embossed in gold - bursting in flight.
I like the movement effect of this card.
I left some space at the card's
lower front part to write a message.
Supplies used:
White CS for the card's basis and for the
Cranes
Turquoise CS for the card's background
and for the Cranes
Patterned background paper (in and out) -
Prima - Nature Garden Collection (A4)
Embossing
Ink
Gold
EP
Blings
in various sizes and colors
White
Gel pen
Double sided foam tape
I layered the background papers.
You can see that inside the card, the patterned paper
was cut to create a shelf, onto which the Cranes were adhered.
All the Cranes - 10 of them! - were
stamped on white and turquoise CS, heat embossed with gold EP and cut with
scissors.
On the outside, the Cranes were glued 3D
for extra dimension.
In the inside, they were glued onto the
background, on the shelf and to each other, to create a sense of motion and
flight.
I used the white Gel pen to frame the
patterned paper, both inside and outside the card, with faux stitches.
I left some space at the lower part of
the card to add a sentiment or greeting.
I added blings in various sizes and colors, to add some glam.
I also added tiny clear blings for the
Cranes eyes (outside).
You can see in each photo a different angle of the card, so you can see how the cranes are attached to it.
Can you imagine them flying?
