Putting It Together

The Derwent pencils I used in this project were a gift from my father-in-law buying off the wishlist my sweetie and I have on Amazon. They're lovely.

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.

I added a copper foiled paper for a mat along with copper foiled vellum for a layer accent behind the girl which I popped up with foam mounting tape. 

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.
