Putting It Together
I used the Cricut Print and Cut feature to send the image to my printer to print on watercolour paper. I coloured the image with the aforementioned watercolour pencils and added accents with Gelly Roll metallics.
I had to darken in the reference frame with a black marker, but then my Maker cut out the image without any problems. I did have to run it on 2 passes which made me a tad nervous of the paper shifting. (I already need to clean my mat to make it stickier.)
After weeding the image (it even cut between her boots!), I went looking in my paper stash for gothy papers I know I have. And then I saw this fabulous steampunk paper. Yummy.
Inside, I added a kraft panel for an easy place to add a personal note and a sliver of the copper foiled cardstock. I used A microdots sheet to make the strip sticky. Super easy peasy with no mess.
Very cool card Rijacki and sounds like a great present! Loving the Steampunk background as well :)
