Measurements: The black base is 4 ¼ x 5 ½”, folded dark red – 4 x 5 ¼”, Image panel – 1 ¾ x 2 ¾”, behind the image panel – 2 x 3 ¼”, long vertical words panel – 1 3/8” wide, horizontal black panel 1 1/16” wide
-The images is colored with Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps using the Gamsol technique which you can find in the resources section here at SCS. I also used chalks for the sky and ground area and applied with a cotton swab. They are a bit darker than the photo is showing.
-For the bones on the black, I punched those with a Fiskars punch and glued them to the cardstock. It gives a faux embossing effect with color.
-The footprints on the dark red were done with the Cuttlebug using a Fiskars embossing plate. I find these plates work a little better for the heavier cardstock if I lightly mist the cardstock with water before embossing. I hold the bottle about two feet away from the cardstock.
-After cutting the image corner bones out, I went around the edge with a black marker to give it more defined and finished look; they are glue to the card.

I met Laura the creator of this image at convention a few weeks ago, very nice lady! She and her husband run the small stamp business without the help of others, not even a design team and I really admired the dedication they have to her artwork. Hope you get to meet her someday!
