Measurements: green font panel - 3 1/16 x 4 4/16 ” plus the purple border, stripes –1 ¾ x 4 11/16 ” plus the border, white only image panel - 2 ½ x 2 3/8”, surrounding the image is 1/8” orange border and the purple are 3/32" wide and it’s easier to say they were cut 3/16” inch larger than the panel above it with no border on the outside edge of the green and striped panels.
-Image is colored with Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps and I substitute the oil for Gamsol. Find the technique in the resources forum here at SCS.
-The shadow around the image is done with chalks, cotton swab and blender pen for getting in close and sealing the chalk.
-The out of the box feature is very easy by cutting to the image with the regular paper cutter on the front, marking the image while holding to a light source on the back then use the paper cutter again to cut to the mark. Scissor cut the image out. My paper cutter is a guillotine style.
-I also use a black marker to go around the cut out edge of the pumpkin and also did the same on the white insert around the designer paper portion only.
-Cuttlebug embossing for the large orange panel.
-The image panel is popped up with foam circle dots that my friend Judy found for me - thanks Judy!
-For the embossing folder: I find it hard to attach other panel to some of the embossing patterns and get them to stay stuck! So after embossing I run it through the Cuttlebug again using one A, B and C plate. ItÂ’s still well embossed but flattens it out enough that I no longer have a problem.
