Deacon's Cake...


Image of "Deacon Cake" provided by Bugaboo
Bugaboo is sponsoring the current challenge at Aud Sentiments with a theme of "Any Sentiment for a Guy".  They have some very funny images and sentiments - check them out at Bugaboo!  

And speaking of sentiments, one of the really talented "Aud" designers has created two FREEBIE sentiments to fit the theme.  You are more than welcome to scoot on over and download both of them for your personal use.  While you are at Aud Sentiments, you can check out my team mates take on the theme and get the info on the challenge.  You can enter five times for a chance at the prize!
TECHNIQUE
[Note: specific information on supplies and sources will be found below under “Supplies”.]
  • CS is cut to an A2 size with a left fold.  Top right corner rounded with a Corner Chomper.
  • DP chosen with a "masculine" feel to them from my scrap heap.
  • To create the 3D image of Deacon, I used a "Paper Sculpting Technique" that consists of:  printing the focal image three times, coloring with Copics, fussy cutting different layers, sculpting the individual pieces [dry embossing each individual piece from the back using a large ball tool] and layering with foam tape to maintain the dimension. 
  • Keeping the embellishments simple, I went with punched chevron corners and a faux ribbon created with a strip of paper colored with a Copic to match the candle.
  • Inside sentiment added...
