Measurements: Green borders - poinsettia panel: 1 ¾” x 5”, script: 2 14” wide, happy holidays: 1 5/8”wide
-I stamped the center flower, masked it off using a post it note and then stamped a flower on each side using a stamp positioner for placement.
-Prismacolor pencils and Mona Lisa mineral spirits were used for coloring in the image and shading around the flowers.
-pad ink and dauber was used for shading the scrip and sentiment panels.
-The ribbon is tied then taped to the back of the panel.
-Cutting out of the box works best for me by holding the image up to a light source and marking the image spot you wish to cut to on the back. Cut to the image with your paper cutter on the front side, flip it over to the back and cut to the mark previously made then cut around the image with scissors. Any straight cuts between images works well with the Coluzzle knife/tool and any straight cut template.
-The poinsettia panel is mounting on foam squares.
-The edges of the white image panels are slightly tool distressed.
-I use a black marker to go around the cut out edges so they wonÂ’t stand out white on the dark colors. ItÂ’s best to do this from the back in case the marker slipsÂ…no harm done!
