I've gone for the bonus points on this one, which was made as a commission from a guy in work - he just wanted the names and happy 25th anniversary on the front and a safari or African theme, and left the rest up to me.
So, I knew I'd have to computer-generate the sentiments, and I thought a plane trailing a banner would get the names in. I used WordArt to add a curve and then free-handed the cutting. Covered it with microglaze and then added a tiny eyelet to thread the silver cord through.
The anniversary banner took a lot more time, but the stamps I had with dates and numbers just weren't in the right style - and I couldn't use the Wild Africa font I downloaded because it turned out not to include numbers. Again I used WordArt to add the curve, and then I stamped a banner stamp at each end (with masking) and drew in the rest of the curved line. Added a coating of microglaze and grunged it up a little, then edged it with silver Stickles.
The plane was stamped on vellum and fussy cut. I cut as much out as I cut, and where there was still a little vellum left around the struts, I coloured it with a yellow Sharpie so it blends more into the background. It's coloured from the back with Sharpies and a little more red pencil on the front. The prop was stamped again and popped up, with a shaped punched circle as the nose cone.
IO's Leopard stamped in black and sponged with distress inks gave me a good background, and I die-cut the heart aperture and outlined it with a silver pen.
Stamped and masked the elephant. Sponged in the sky and foreground. Added some foliage over to the left with a couple of green DOX inks. Added the stars with Delicata silver.
To assemble, I layered the elephant scene behind the heart aperture and added some cream stitching. Stuck it to a kraft base, and then added the plane and banners all popped up on foam, and with the silver cord from the banner tucked behind the tail of the plane. |
