Instructions:
- Cut a piece of white cardstock 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inches.
- Using sponges for each color, rub ink around on the entire piece of paper. (Lemon Grass, Iris, and Jade/Emerald)
- Optionally sprinkle rubbing alcohol over ink and dab up the excess. Trim to 4 x 5-1/4 inches.
- Stamp Who Am I with black ink and color. Trim around the image and use a dark colored marker to color around the cut edge.
- Place image down onto background and pencil in a shadow.
- Cover background paper with masking or tracing paper and trace the lines.
- Cut out the shape of the shadow using a craft knife and cutting mat. Make sure to cut in one line and not go past a corner, it will show up when airbrushing the shadow. Save the shadow shape for later.
- Use the edge of a scrap piece of paper to sponge a gray ink floor line across the lower edge the penciled shadow. Remove scrap paper.
- Tape down background paper and the outer tracing paper with the shadow as a stencil.
- Use an airbrush tool to make the shadow, starting the spray on the mask and towards the open shape.
- Remove mask and cover the shadow with tracing paper shape . Stamp candy from Tricky Words with black ink on the sponged floor line and color in the candy with a dark colored marker or pen. Make a dashed line with a black pen across the floor line for definition.
- Adhere to a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inch kraft cardstock base.
- Stamp sentiment from Tricky Words with black archival ink onto the background paper.
- Stamp candy on white cardstock and color.
- Trim out candy and adhere with a piece of foam square to fit the small candy piece.
- Adhere Who Am I with 3D Foam Squares
