Good morning! Ardyth here with a fun card using some of the products from the March release in a way that Julie probably didn’t foresee!
As soon as I saw the girl with two buns, my mind jumped to a galaxy far, far away and I wondered how I could make it work. The card has two main components - the girl and the background.
I started by stamping her with Catherine Pooler Midnight, using my MISTI, on Neenah 110 lb cardstock.
Then I coloured her with Copics. I ignored her sandals and coloured her feet brown, like boots.
I added some black dots to her eyes with a black Memento marker
When she was finished, I used the matching die to cut her out.
Next, I created her light sabre using one of the chopstick dies. I coloured it with Copics.
Next, the background. I started with a 4.25 x 5.5 panel of Ranger Watercolor cardstock. I cut a circle mask from a post it note and used repositionable adhesive to hold it down.
I layered Catherine Pooler inks in blues, working from lightest to darkest, and added some dark purple and black around the edges.
Before removing the mask, I spritzed the panel with water to create ‘stars’. These inks are really vibrant and react well with water.
When the panel was dry, I cut it with an Avery Elle Double-Pierced Rectangle die.
I cut a sentiment strip using the Fortune Cookie dies and blended Melon Ice and Lime Rickey on the ends of it before stamping my sentiment with Midnight ink.
I used a Quickie glue pen with it’s tiny tip to glue the light sabre down and then added some StarDust Stickles for sparkle.
Then I popped up the girl with foam tape, positioning her on the sentiment strip to ground her.
