What's inside?

 


I started by making the front cover by adding a paper and then the sentiment, die cut with a scalloped circle. I added a touch of colour with Copics and Wild Honey Distress Oxide.


Then I moved to the inside... I added another page from the paper set, cutting out elements from another print and adding them on dimensionals...


Next I coloured the images from IMG499 with Copics and cut them out. I wanted them to pop up as the card was opened. I placed another layer of paper on the base and then made stands for each critter and the skulls from the paper.


The stands are basically strips of 3cm wide card  scored at 2cm at one end so that this flap can be adhered to the back wall. These are placed in position with wet glue and then the card folded up to make sure they sit correctly.


At the other end the strips are scores at 1 cm and 3 cm - making a fold down flap, the 1 cm end piece is adhered flat to the base. Wet glue is just added to the one cm area, the strips folded at the 3cm and laid flat, then the card closed up again. This should ensure that the card back will be at rightangles and that the card will close flat. I saw this method on this you tube video here


I made the strips of different lengths so that the critters were spaced out across the base and also such that when the animals were placed on the tabs and the card folded flat they would be hidden. So the final task was to add the critters. But just as an additional touch I added another spider...



Happy Crafting!
