Charlotte Sweet Charlotte

Showcasing 'Charlotte' a digi-image from Milk Coffee. 

 Hello Everyone...

Today starts a new Challenge week at Twist of Faith. The main recipe needed is Children.   It's time to use your favorite stamp or digital image showcasing a child or children. And of course include a scripture, uplifting quote/sentiment, or positive verse in your creation.

 This week our Sponsor is Milk Coffee .  They are offering 5 Digi images to the winner of this challenge.

I chose to play with 'Charlotte' a Milk Coffee image and showcase her on a Swivel Card. When I sat to start bringing Charlotte to life in my world of color and paper I thought of when I made my First Communion as a child being brought up Catholic.  The ceremony was celebrated in church after lessons, teachings and prayers were learned. The girls would wear pretty white dresses with pretty white shoes...so this is how I pictured I was going to set up Charlotte's dress...in pretty white paper lace with pretty shoes to match as a sign of purity and giving her life to walking with God.

I placed a Scripture that swivels from the other side behind Charlotte. It's an amazing show-off kind of card. Here is where I got the Swivel Card directions by Sheila Weaver.  If I can do it you can. It is my first and not my last.

I want to share the method I used to get the dress this way. I cut a sheet of parchment paper 8 1/2 by 11 then put repositional glue(this was my first time trying but I will be using regular glue(from glider not liquid) on one side then glued it to a 8 1/2 by 11 white sheet of card stock. You will have to figure out how your printer will feed it. I had to turn my sheet upside down to accept the parchment side up as the printing side. Then picked the Cuttlebug embossing folder pattern I wanted to use. Cut a couple of the Charlotte printed sections and embossed the whole thing because I was going to cut what I wanted. In my case I cut the bird, dress and shoes. I did do a dark gray shadow on the image that is the main card design(original image) before placing the cut pieces(dress,shoes,bird). Apologies for not taking more pictures but hopefully this will get you started. Here is where I got my tutorial on this 3D paper piecing a stamped image. Mariska van de Veer is the teacher on this tutorial showcasing her awesome and beautiful work...check out her blog. Mine are not to be compared but as someone who loves details and making keepsakes.
