Altenew Paper Pieced Ori Kami Elephant for The Color Throwdown #433 with Video
Hello fellow card makers. Today I am sharing the card I made for The Color Throwdown #433. I used Altenew Ori Kami stamp set. I paper pieced the elephant from the set using a layering technique to make it look like it was actually folded with a piece of paper. It adds dimension and interest to a clean and simple card. This technique is for people that love to fussy cut, because there is a lot of fussy cutting with this card. It took me a while to get through it, but it was worth it. I really like how it turned out. Below are some photos of my project, a link to my video on YouTube, and a complete list of supplies. Also, I have a map of the elephant and how many layers make up each part of the elephant. I also now know that I do not own a "cornflower blue" - Muahahaha! I must SHOP!
Supplies:
Stamps:
Altenew, Ori Kami
Ink:
Memento, Tuxedo Black
Versafine, Onyx Black
Distress Ink, Salty Ocean (because I don't own "cornflower blue"---yet 😉)
Cardstock:
Neenah 110 lbs Solar White http://amzn.to/2mZft7l
Strathmore Bristol Smooth White
That is an awesome origami elephant! Love the layers! And I think the blue is close enough to cornflower. Thanks so much for playing along with us at the Color Throwdown this week!
Hello. My name is Koren Wiskman, but many people call me Kori. My husband Tim and I run two businesses and have four kids. If this doesn’t immediately scream insanity, just keep reading…Tim and I grew up in the same waterfront town of Pasadena, Maryland. We graduated High School together in 1998, and about 15 years later we started dating. It would make an excellent love story, but we are not quite finished writing it yet. I became a Mother almost 20 years ago with my daughter Cailin. I’ve been crafting since birth but I discovered stamping when I was pregnant with my first son Hayden over 18 years ago. I fell in love and I have been card making ever since. Since then my joy for paper crafting has grown right along with my family. I now have a step-daughter Olivia who will be 13 this year. You can find me on YouTube and many of the popular social media sites. Thats where you will also meet Dexter my youngest, he is seven, and he is the perfect combination of me and Tim. See many of our family outings and shenanigans as well as plenty of crafting goodness.
