Sharon's- Off With Her Head!

It's Sharon--

the delinquent Prairie Fairy Design Team Member

late with my tutorial

and I bet Corry and Roberta

are about to shout

"Off With Her Head!"

I can't blame them a bit!

But maybe-just maybe

if my post & project makes them

SMILE

they will grant me a reprieve?

Let's give it a try!

For today's project--

which, I give credit where credit is due,

THE PRAIRIE FAIRY HERSELF

posted some time back...

this is merely my take on her idea...

First, you need to make an easel card---

I gotta say-I've tried twice today to do the steps and photos myself-

it's just not working so--go here

if you don't know how to make the easel base card.

Once you have that done, come back here and I will show

you what I did next.

Go ahead. I'll wait...

Ready?

You want to pick an image

and I chose

Gillian at the beach

I colored her with my Copics...

and then I cut her head off!

GASP!

No-wait-I meant to do that---really...!

Watch---next we put it back on...!

Close to My Heart has come out with these great

ADHESIVE SPRINGS...

I simply put one on the back of Gillian's head

lined it up on my card so her chin came just below the cut line

on her neck...

and Viola!

Her head's back on!

Looks cute---but that still photo---

well-it just doesn't give it the "WOW" value

this idea really has...

let's give it some

CAMERA-LIGHTS-ACTION, BABY!

See--isn't she ADORABLE?!

But wait---we can make it better

Up close and personal....

That's actually my goddaughter's head---

on Gillian's body!

How'd I do it?

I used Microsoft Publisher

(but any photo editing software will work...)

to crop a photo of her so I just had her head,

then enlarged it so it would look bigger than Gillian's body

(just the way Roberta drew Gillian!),

cut it out & attached it just like I did Gillian's head!

Too, too funny!

I cannot wait to do

Lewis at the beach...

I have lots of heads to add to him

as our "after our wedding" family pics were taken

at the beach--all the guys--had sunglasses on...

I know what theme birthday cards are gonna be this year!

Here's another tip---

want instant "sand" for your beach themed cards?

Simply mix 2/3 gold microbeads with 1/3 silver microbeads!

Perfect instant beach!

Liquid Glass holds them on great by the way...

So--

tell me---ya think Roberta and Corry will let me keep my head?

I hope so!

Until next time

(and yes, I will TRY to be on time!)

Happy stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,

Sharon
