Welcome back to another day of lawn fawn's october inspiration week! We're all skating around with winter penguin and the scripty joy die.
I combined both on the same card for you today:
I did some fancy die-cutting, so that the scripty joy could have a longer tail end that connects with the penguin's skates. It's all one piece, people! And it wasn't that hard to do. I've been bitten by the partial die-cut bug. If you want a great lesson, check out Pamela's video *here.*
What I did: I die-cut "joy" first, but stopped the die-cutting right after the "y." I didn't follow through to the end. Then, I drew pencil lines of where I wanted the script to go, and stamped the penguin right there at the end. The fussy part was die-cutting the penguin. I sent it through the machine a few times, at different angles, to cut everything but around his left skate. Whatever the machine couldn't get to, I cut out with scissors.
When the entire thing was cut out, I propped it up on foam squares. You know, to show off my careful work to the full! And, for added drama, I placed it all onto a siren-red backdrop.
I hope you like it! Check out what the other design team members made using winter penguin and the scripty joy die - click!
