Latte Mamma

Latte Mamma provided by Sassy Studio Designs

This is the 2nd week of an Anything Goes Challenge  at Aud Sentiments sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs. This challenge ends on Tuesday, Jan 27, so you have a week to get up to 5 projects entered for a chance at a WIN!  The Team has a delicious set of inspiration projects for you - take a look!

[Note: specific information on supplies and sources will be found below under “Supplies”.]

• I wanted to try my hand at this card base concept I have seen popping up here and there.  In my version, the base consists of 2 separate pieces of CS that when folded in half are 1.5 x 4.25 in. each.  The two halves are separated by approximately 0.5 in. and then taped securely to the oval mat for my focal image.  In this 2nd photo you can see there is a 2nd oval, matching the first, that has been fastened to the inside securing the 2 backs of the base card.
• Also visible from this angle is the Paper Tole or Paper Sculpting that has been done with the image.  This involves printing 3 copies, coloring them with Copics, fussy cutting and 'paper sculpting' the image.  Her slacks are paper pieced.  The cup and her earring have been covered with Duo Glue and then foil applied.
• The sentiment is a Freebie provided by Ginny H - one of the Senior Designers at Aud Sentiments.
