In realtà, la mia idea iniziale era di fare una card piuttosto semplice e veloce... ma poi il lavoro mi è sfuggito di mano - anche a causa di alcuni errori - e così il lavoro si è dilungato parecchio ed è diventata una delle mie solite card "bit & bobs", piena di dettagli. Immagino che non ne sarete stupiti.... LOL :D
La struttura della step-card è tagliata con la fustella Crealies-Create a card n 3- e cartoncino bianco. Ho stampato i fiori Dotty Centre Flowerhead di Chocolate Baroque (vinti sul blog di Asha) e li ho colorati con i markers.
Ho colorato lo sfondo con il DI Antique Linen...Poi mi è sembrata troppo vuota e ho pensato di aggiungere del verde, usando i versatili capelli di Ophelia (Chocolate Baroque), come avevo già fatto QUI.
Stavolta però volevo dare l'effetto di un giardino rigoglioso e un po' selvatico, pieno di alte erbe. Ho mascherato il volto di Ophelia e per timbrare ho usato il DI Mowed Lawn.
Poi ho tagliato un altro cartoncino per la parte frontale della card, in modo che la parte con "le scale" restasse all'interno. Sulla parte frontale ho creato una finestra, usando un cerchio scallop (Fustella Sizzix Framelits by Stephanie Barnard) in modo da lasciare intravedere un po' i fiori all'interno. L'ho colorata con il DI Antique Linen e ho incollato la parte frontale a quella interna. La finestra però non mi piaceva così spoglia... Allora l'ho coperta un po' con due graticci ricavati da un cartoncino color kraft, recuperato da una scatola (fustella Sizzix Framework Trellis).Sul graticcio ho incollato una farfalla doppia (Sizzix Thinlits - Detailed Butterflies) colorata con i DI. Poi sui lati ho aggiunto altri due rametti (Sizzix Sizzlitz -Flower Wine set).
All'interno, invece, sulla stessa apertura ho incollato altre due foglie (Sizzix) colorate con i DI e un altro fiore Chocolate Baroque timbrato su vellum (per mantenere il più possibile la trasparenza) e colorato con i markers.
Tornando all'esterno, a sinistra ho messo un altro graticcio color kraft, su cui ho incollato un fiore Chocolate Baroque (a cui ho tagliato e piegato un po' i petali per un effetto 3D), un nastro (colorato con i marker per adeguare il colore alla palette) con perle e un cuore di legno e juta, e poi ancora due foglie (Sizzix) colorate con i DI.
All'interno, di fianco alla scala del giardino, ho messo una finestra :D.
Ho usato la fustella Spelbinder Shapeability Window#2, colorata con i Distress Ink.
La card aperta e piegata
E nuovamente l'esterno

This is just stunning!! I love how the butterfly is on the diecut, giving light from all around it!! The giant flowers look beautiful as the windows do, and this is just lovely! Very creative and unique for sure!
RispondiEliminaWell, you've done it again, Alice! Such an amazing project with so many details to examine and admire! It seems that this card is full of surprises with the inside so unexpected. It reminds me of peeking inside someone's house, seeing the window and stairs. So beautifully done and I think it was a brilliant idea to use the lady's hair for the foliage! My favourite is the butterfly and how you have inked it - so pretty - I love these colours!
RispondiEliminaWOW ...how beautifully you used the stamp by masking it and love the vibrant orange and green combination
RispondiEliminaCheers

Wow Alice!! Absolutely amazingly beautiful card! I don't think you can ever do easy cards :D. Fabulous use of your stamps especially the 'Ophelia' stamp's hair, I would never have thought to have used the stamp in that way at all. Such a marvellous card design. I'm running out of words to praise your creations as they're just suburb creations. Good luck in the challenges although I think this is a winner!!
