New challenge time for Let's Squash It. This month is use any embossing folder and dies/fussy cutting. I ended up using both dies and fussy cutting.
I have been playing with the new Quite Curvy stamps and dies from SU. It has been a learning curve (see what I did there?) (pun intended) to get the cutting edges the right way and lining up curves on the card base. This card I used only 1 side of the curves.
After die cutting the green grass with the curvy die, I ran it through a Sizzix for Stampin' Up! folder. I don't know the name, I just call it wavy lines. I think it looks like grass. I adhered that to a Pool Party background that I used a Darice cloud embossing folder on. The zebra is from SU, stamped and fussy cut. His little robin friend is from the Quite Curvy set. It has a coordinating die cut. Colored with Prismore colored pencils. I don't know, do they have robins in Africa plains? The hello is also SU, it has a die cut but it is just easier to fussy cut it.
I think this will also be a fun card for kids at Send A Smile 4 Kids. Their current challenge is winter cards for kids. So I suppose winter in Africa is like our summer.

Really cute. I love that cloud embossing folder. Did you ink that piece of paper before embossing it? It looks like it's lightly shaded with a pale blue. Your zebra and bird friend are super cute, too. If they don't have robins in Africa, maybe this little scene comes from a local zoo!
ReplyDeleteNo shading. I think it is just the lighting
DeleteLove your cute scene! Thanks for playing at Let's Squash It! Jo x
