Today's the reveal of the 34 cards exchanged in October over at the Card Chain Challenge blog. For October, I sent a card to Barbara in Switzerland (it was Barbara's first time playing along!) and I received a card from Bonnie in Colorado.
There is always a sketch, color scheme, themes and Product/Technique offered to use - you can choose all things or just one thing.
This month, I chose the themes of Bears and Friendship! Can you tell that by the look of my card?!!
Instead of putting Theodore on a card (Theodore Colorize die/Tim Holtz/Sizzix) - I made him a stand alone by die cutting an extra base piece and adhering the front and back together just at the top of his head.
I scored a line on the back piece just below the glued section, so the back would fold open as shown below in the photo on the right and he'd stand up.
What a great idea! Love the free standing bear!
ReplyDeleteI had to grin at first, your bear card is simply wonderful. Such a brilliant idea and I'm happy for Barbara that she gets such a special card the first time.
ReplyDeleteSo fabulous Julia, love that he is free standing!
