I was so excited to receive the super cute “Caped Cuties” stamp set by Clearly Besotted<\/a><\/span> as a gift\u00a0from my friend, Dorothy (YT: Dorothy Jewell) . Those little critters are\u00a0so stinkin’ cute! Recently I also picked up the awesome Paper Smooches “Super 2” Die<\/a><\/span>, and I thought the two could be paired perfectly on a card for a crafty friend celebrating reaching 300+ YouTube subbies.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I Copic colored the little super hero\u00a0bunny very simply\u00a0with : 0, C0, C1, C3, C6, C7 and C9. I fussy cut him out leaving a small white border around the whole image just so I could make him large enough to be mounted on a slider mechanism (even with the white border he was too small to be put on a normal penny slider).<\/p>\n

For the scene on the card front, I die cut out the cityscape several times from black card stock to get a row of skyscrapers. I also used the negative left over part of card stock as a silhouette of a skyline further back. To add a pop of color, I inked some white card stock with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in <\/a>Mustard Seed and lined the back of the die cut buildings so that they would look like they were lit up from the inside. For the night sky, I didn’t want the black silhouetted buildings to fade into the sky so I inked up the card front with the following Tim Holtz Distress Inks: a hint of Mustard Seed on the lower third (most of which would be covered by the buildings and the silhouette; Salty Ocean for the middle third; and Black Soot for the top third. But I also mixed the Black Soot\u00a0into the blue area more to create a feeling of dusk. To get a more intense black for the top of the card and along the edges, I also used an ink dauber and some Onyx Black Versafine Ink.<\/p>\n

I used an X-Acto knife to cut a slit into the card front where the bunny could zoom up into the sky. Rather than using two pennies for the slider mechanism, I punched out eight 3\/4″ circles from scrap card stock and trimmed them down so that they could be completely hidden behind the bunny. I glued them together to end up with two thick circles, four card stock layers thick. \u00a0Then I cut a\u00a0Tombow Power Adhesive Tab into quarters and stacked two quarters together to create a spacer between the circles. I used a powder tool to eliminate the sticky edges of the power tabs to help facilitate a smooth glide. Before putting the card front onto the card base with double sided foam adhesive, I also inked the area of the card base that would show through the slit to match the colors of the sky on the card front, and I used a black Faber Castell Pitt Pen to even draw in the silhouetted building that was cut out from the slit. \u00a0I think those kind of details really helps create a cohesive scene look. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
