Side Step Card with Pepe

Hello Everyone,

The weekend is nearly upon us and I’ve knocked up this Side Step card, doing a little each night this week after work until it was finished.

The image was coloured with Copic Pens
Cheese: Y11, Y21, YR07
Ribbons: R22, R24
Eyes/Teeth: E81
Pepe: C1, C3, C5
Flower Stems: YG63, YG67

I used Rosie’s Garden DP and the image is from The Paper Shelter and it’s a digi called PepeL’SourisInLove. I’ve cut the image out with a spellbinder Labels Four die and I’ve done something a little tricky!

I cut around sections of the picture that were outside the frame with my cutting knife (around the flowers and the feet),  and pulled them above the nestie before running it through my Big Shot.

This left those areas outside the cut and it looks like Pepe and his flowers are actually layered onto the label die, but he isn’t. It’s all one piece of cardstock! Pretty tricky hey?

I wanted to have a bit of fun with this card and played around with the sentiment on it. The “love is..” sentiment is a clear stamp  from Kaiser and I added on the next layer back a cheeky “or perhaps cheese” using some Kaiser tiny alpha stickers.

I’ve coloured and cut a few extra Cheese hearts and an extra flower.
A yellow headed stick pin through the ribbon finished it off. I stuck a couple of small glass beads onto the bottom of the pin to cover up the pointy end so it doesn’t stick into you when handling the card.

I also adhered some baby yellow paper roses to the centres of the flowers to give some dimension to it. I don’t know if you can see it below, but on the edge of the label I’ve run some puffy paint in a pearly apricot colour. I’ve had this kids paint – it comes in a pen like glitter glue – for some 12 months in my stash and I reckon it was about time I started to Use It Up !

Here is the card from the side so you can see how it folds in steps.

I think I’ll enter The Paper Shelter DT call and see how I go. I’ve only recently found their shop and really like the variety of images.

I’d like to enter this into the following challenges also:
Just Tracys Crafts Challenge for the New Year is Love is in the Air

Well that’s it from me until sometime over the week-end when I’ve had some time out to do a little more… Of course you could go check out My Blog Candy and perhaps win yourself a little bundle of goodies Smile
