Let's Hang Out Paper 1

Do you have a guy in your life who does everything?  Doesn't he deserve

card to let him know how special he is?  Let me show you how I made my

project.  I started by composing my image onto the digital paper in the

computer.  I also used a patterned piece of digital paper so I could paper

 piece the wallpaper.

I changed the color of the background paper to tan in the computer.  That small

strip on the bottom is the patterned paper for the wallpaper paper piecing.

To paper piece, I first print out the image in black and white onto copy

paper.

Then, using washi tape, I adhered the patterned paper to the area where

the wallpaper rolls were and sent it through my printer again.

I fussy cut the wallpaper rolls right up to the edges and then used a black

marker along the edges before adhering it to the card stock piece.

And it will fit perfectly over the uncolored wallpaper!

Next on to the coloring.  I kept things pretty simple and used the

wallpaper colors to determine my color palette.

I always like to color the face first.  It makes the rest of the coloring make

more sense somehow.  You'll notice that I extended his mouth a bit to make

it look like he's smiling...well, a half of a smile...LOL!

There's not a lot to color so this worked up quite quickly.  Even

before I finished the coloring I decided to die cut it using a die from

my stash.  Once the coloring was done, I splattered this panel

heavily using 3 dye ink colors that matched the wallpaper.  I also used a

small paintbrush and swiped ink on his clothing and face so it

looked like paint.  Once the coloring was done, I adhered the panel

onto some coordinating blue card stock and then used Glossy

Accents on the paint - the paint on the brush cans, and some on

him as well.  Once that was dry my card was finished!
