Zany Zoo Faux Shutter Technique card

 

Look at this FUN card!

I did the Fractured card or Faux Shutter Technique.

I used the 

#161304- Zoo Crew DSP= $12.50- pg. 132

 & coordinating #161315-Zany Zoo Bundle= $54.00- pg. 47.

How did I do it?

*I cut 4 different sizes of DSP.

 I used this card for my measurements to make the 4 different sized DSP pieces.

*These are the patterns I made to cut the 4 DSP pieces.

*This is what it looks like when they are all adhered to the card front.

*I added a stitched square from the Stylish Shapes Dies to the center.

*Adhere the 1/4 x 5 1/2" black strips onto the card front as shown above.

*Then take Paper Snips & cut off the excess strips.

*Notice how I used this die to cut out my words.

*I wanted them shorter- so I ran them back thru the 

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine again & it is now the perfect size for the words!

*I die cut the turtle directly from the Zoo Crew DSP.

*I then colored the turtle with Stampin' Blends-

 Light Smoky Slate; Light & Dark Lemon Lime Twist.
