I have a treat for you today! This little project has been brewing in my creativity engine for a long time and it's taken a few turns, but I do think it will be fun to get your imagination moving. So there will be tons of photos!

A game box with a game board, Woodland Friends with heads that wobble and a good dose of imagination.

FYI - Techniques and supplies will be listed and linked at the end.

Every game needs a container so I made one from cardstock and added a cover image (as you saw above), but what I did want was a good way to keep it closed and my game pieces from falling out.
Tombow Fastener Tabs came to the rescue!

Here are what I made for the game. a few characters, props and leaf stands.

Each leaf stand has a small dollop of Tombow Xtreme Mounting Putty. Now we can mix and match, plus make more characters with the other Pop Up character stamp sets.

Most times a game needs a game board, right?

Each character was colored with alcohol markers, because honestly I just didn't have enough Tombow markers to do it, BUT I always like to add detail to marker colored images, but can't get it unless I use pencils I pulled out my Tombow Recycled Colored Pencils, 24pk Tin

Now for the fun part. Adding a Wobble to their heads and a stand for them to prop up against. Both can be made using DCP1003 Pop'cessories Die Cut Set with ease.

From experience, do a dry run on the wobble die cut because you'll want to make sure the head isn't glued to the wobble or the base. For your convenience, I added and an "X" where the glue should go... I'm using MONO Multi Liquid Glue

Now this game needed a game board and that is what I did. Stamped on white cardstock and colored with markers, masked and air brushed with Tombow Dual Brush Pens using an eBrush. Once the airbrushing was done a light spray of water so the color would expand and darken, BUT since I did the leaves and tree stump with Copic markers those did not run at all. It warped of course so I ran to my matboard stash and made two squares just smaller than half the game boards, glued on so there was a gap at the fold and voila, a sturdy game board.

I wanted to have a mostly soft border, but I did use the Fudenosuke Soft Body Pen for some pebbles along the way.
