Tea Trolly Dolly

Hi All! Very excited to share with you the first of my cards I made for the June Edition of Making Cards Magazine representing Dr.Digi's House of Stamps.

Here is Tea Trolly Dolly!

I used elements from the Tea Time Set! It's a bargain to begin with, but if you use the special code in the magazine for 20% off, it's even more of a bargain! You can also buy all the elements separately, I've tried to link to them in my Card Recipe Below.

When I prepared my cards for the magazine I also created a full card recipe and a list of all the pencils I used so I have added to them post too, hope they are useful to you for creating cards or colouring! 

Card Recipe

Base: 

• Create a 17 cm x 17 cm card blank.
• Print out onto white paper the Bickie – Jammy Dodgers backing paper from the Tea and Bickies Backing Paper Set.
• Line paper up centrally on card, adhere with double-sided tape and cover card blank. Cut off any excess.

Topper: 

• On the PC make a topper image (15.5 cm x 15.5 cm) using Tea Trolley Dolly digistamp and sentiment from Tea Time SentimentsSheet. Resize elements to fit.
• Make digistamp paler.
• Add an edge on the topper before printing to make it easy to cut out straight.
• Print out topper directly onto Kraft Card. Also print on the same A4 sheet the digistamp once again, at full strength to use as a guide when you colour.

Colouring: 

• Colour in Tea Trolley Dolly with Faber-Castell Polychromo Pencils.
• Create a diamond pattern floor surface for her to stand on also with Faber-Castell Polychromo Pencils.
• Add highlights using White (0.7 mm) Posca Pen.
• Clean up any smudges and pencil dust around your image using an eraser.
• Cut out topper. Using a curved edge to guide you, cut off one of the corners.

Finishing Off:

• From the sentiments sheet print and cut out one Jammy Dodger. For a perfect circle use a round die to fit your printed biscuit. Add glossy accents to jam and allow to dry.
• Stick Jammy Dodger into right hand corner of card front.
• Using 3D foam place topper onto card
• Add Ranger Glossy Accents to glasses, earrings and cherries.
