DRS Designs Challenge #27: Diorama Cards

Stamps by DRS Designs: Picnic Basket K1104, Ant Betty B1035, 4 in 1 Beach Background D1099, sentiment D1072, Interlocking Flower Background H813. Cardstock: Kraft, Cool Caribbean, Certainly Celery, GP 110 white. Ink: Real Red, Memento black, Copics. Accessories: Stardust glitter pens, circle punch, long rectangle Nestabilities.

This week's DRS Designs' blog challenge is to create a diorama card (SplitCoast Stampers' tutorial HERE). Let me tell you, this was a true challenge for me because I am very spatially challenged at best. More than a few sheets of cardstock ended up in the scrap bin as I measured twice and cut once again and again.

A diorama card is not easy to photograph, either. I ended up shooting outside where the bright sunlight blasted away the shadows over the sentiment resulting from my use of cave-like kraft cardstock for the final layer. At least these scorching days are good for something, right?

Here's a top view so you can see the ants parading along the middle layer:



Be sure to stop by the DRS blog for more examples of this technique and link your examples. Bet not everyone considers this quite the challenge I did!

  3. Oh my goodness, jessica. This is adorable. I think you did a terrific job on it. I got a chuckle out of your post though "measure twice and cut once again and again" LOL sounds like me :) Good thing it was a small card, I guess. I haven't tried one of these myself, so I am extremely proud of you for doing so. Hugs, Kel
