Welcome to another challenge at The Male Room - this month we want to see your pop up elements. This is something I haven't done in a while and had a lot of fun with. I decided to ink up one of Tim Holtz' birds as I haven't used them in a whilte.
I started off by making the background with my gel press and a stencil. I used some acrylic inks in various shades of blue, green, yellow and purple. I layered it onto some SU green cardstock and cut out an oval shape in the middle with a stitched framelit. I used the cut out cardstock as the base for the bird, adding a smaller shape to stamp the sentiment and add the bird. The bird was coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers and Scattered Straw. I added some googly eyes just to give him more character.
I've shown the inside of the card to give you an idea of the mechanism to make the pop up.
Very clever pop up especially with the aperture to the card front. X
