Hello Friends!
I belong to the Pink Slipper Pajama Party Gals over at SCS. This month Maggie challenged us to:
Make a "fancy fold" card and something that you haven't done before.
Well, oddly enough I had seen a fun fold card on Shelby's blog a few weeks ago and at that time I knew I wanted to make a Magic Fold Card. Shelby referenced this video. I had just received a new Magnolia stamp, Winter Skating Tilda, and could not wait to ink her up!
So I followed the video tutorial using cream card stock to create the base. After I had the first two layers of the base, I used a fiskers snow border punch and then used some embossing powder on the edges to give it an extra glimmer. I used MME paper in purples to accent the cream. I did not want to use traditional Christmas colors, but instead a cool color.
After coloring her up with my copics I cut her out so I could perch her up on a chipboard tag to make her look like she was sitting on a window. The chipboard tag was embossed with white snowflakes and then inked with concord grape distress ink to match. I used dimensional glue dots to bring her up off the card and chipboard.
Copics used:
Skin: E000, E00, E11, E13, R20
Hair: E31, E35, E37
Jacket & Skates: RV0000, RV91, RV93, RV95
Scarf, Pants & Hat: BV20, BV23, BV25, C3, C5
I added some white flowersoft on the hat for the ball.
The inside is also adorned with matching paper from the outside. I used a spellbinders die on the inside to add the two sentiments by Stampabilities. I also embossed the same snowflakes from the outside on the inside to give it a wintery feel. They are hard to see in these pictures.
