Fierce Pop Up Card
Project by Ash Newton-Spence
With the amazing silhouette stamp images, the Fierce kit was just perfect to make this sunset pop up card.
I started off making a slimline card base (21cm x 9cm) so that I could fit in as many of the images as I could and masking off the bottom of the inside of the card. This was so I didn't get any of my oxide ink on the bottom inside.
I chose 5 of my favourite Distress Oxide Inks to make a sunset (Wild Honey, Ripe Persimmon, Fired Brick, Dusty Concord and Chipped Sapphire) and blended them together using blending brushes to make the top of the card. I then used the first three colours to blend onto a spare piece of cardstock which is where I stamped my silhouette images using a black ink. I quickly heat set the ink so it wouldn't smudge while I fussy cut out the images. To add a bit of interest to the bottom inside of the card, I taped off a part of it and inked it up using Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide to look like a ground. I added splatter to give interest, and then used the standard sized washi tape from the kit to create a decorative line. This way, there was room to write a message when I get to sending the card.
I cut out some strips of scrap black cardstock and then used a score board to fold them into little squares. This is what I used to make my images "pop up"
I cut out some strips of scrap black cardstock and then used a score board to fold them into little squares. This is what I used to make my images "pop up" when the card was opened. I attached them behind the images and then to the fold of the card using a combination of liquid glue and glue dots. To finish off the scene, I stamped in a few of the bird silhouette images in the sky. I still think the sky was a little too high, but it certainly helped fill in the space.
Now the inside of the card was done, I wanted something very simple on the outside to tie it all together. Luckily, the papers in the kit make this so simple. I just cut out a piece of the animal print paper using my trimmer and stuck it to the front of my card using glue dots. I then attached a die cut (the elephant in this case to finish it. I left the card without a sentiment so I can add it later and customise the card to be whatever I need.

Thanks so much for checking out my post. There's also a video to go along with this project if you want to check it out on my YouTube.
