Morning, Here is a fun twist on a regular stepper card. I made it from a sheet of A4 card, so it gives you a finished card smaller than A5. I made a template for it, I have included measurements here in case you would like to try it out. I originally worked it out on copier paper.
Working from the right on the longest edge of your A4 sheet of card, Lightly mark with pencil at 5'' and then at 3 1/2'' on the top. Then on the bottom mark again at 5'' and then at 2''. These are your score lines.
Score using a bone folder and crease. Your card will now look like this:
I then Marked off to create a squared card, like this:
The cut off the excess as shown here:
I created the background using a My Craft Studio CDRom. It's a create a scene, so built up from elements from the software. I printed this off, on a separate piece of super smooth card, I printed off some extras for the foreground to decoupage, to continue the 3D look and feel.
I stamped the main image with a Memento ink pad (Black Tuxedo) then coloured with my alcohol markers. It was cut out using my Brother Scan n Cut and the mat for the image was cut adding a 5mm border. I then distressed the edges with distress ink and blending tool (Bundled Sage)
The background was then cut to fit the card and layered using black card. To finished I assembled the card and added the extras with 3D Glue Gel.

DeleteA beautiful card with your wonderful colouring. Even a different card shape with all the instructions and great pictures so we can easily make it if we want to. Your instructions are so clear and precise. Your colouring always so good it looks like it has been printed,mine looks like a five year olds! Ohh well more practice needed!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking all that time to share and explain. Nicola x
P.S. No need for you to feel humble,the comments are more than deserved.
I am so glad you like it Nicola. It's nice to have a different card shape sometimes. I am sure your colouring is better than you think, maybe you are being too critical. I am exactly the same, I think we all are and tend to compare with others. Take care and thank you so much for being so active on the blog.It\s always great to read your comments.xx
