Hello everyone! Betsy here sharing this “off the edge” card using the Fantabulous Fall stamp set and Animal Pals – Foxes stamp set. I don’t think I’ve ever made one of these types of cards, although the technique has been around for a while. Let me show you how I made my card project!
Since I needed to fold the card on the left side, I had to be careful as to where my elements were placed on the card. I placed them horizontally at the bottom. This insured that I would have enough room to to actually cut off part of my card.
I did choose my background paper before starting to color. I decided to use my Prisma Color Pencils so that no color could bleed through like Copics would cause and because I hadn’t made a card using them in a while! I used light layers to gradually build up my color.
You can see my pencil line as to where I would cut the card. I just used scissors to trim this out and around the fox and squirrel I used a black marker after the cutting was done.
I cut a strip of the plaid paper that was 1 ¾” wide and used a scalloped edge die on the left side. I stamped a sentiment that I had in my stash and then adhered tiny leaf sequins around my image. I also used a white gel pen for a few highlights. And that finished my card project!
I hope you’ll give this card a try. You could use so many different images for all kinds of occasions!
Til next time…
