The lady ordering the card likes the Cricut Paper Doll images that I have created previously so wanted something on a similar theme.
The little boy was cut using both Cricut Paper Doll and Cricut Every Day Doll Cartridges. As I was given details of the colour of the little boys eyes I added colour to the eye section of the head, using promarker pens - I intend to do this in the future as it makes the eyes more effective.
The brick trolley was also taken from the same cartridges and was cut in silver mirror card, black and brown card stock and sections cut and fixed together accordingly to create the multi coloured trolley.
The toy bricks were created using the Cricut Gypsy hand held device. A square shape was taken from the Christmas Cheer Cartridge. The squares were repeated several times and were cut from paler cardstock in green, yellow and blue colours.
The square was then copied and reduced in size slightly and positioned inside the original larger square. The two squares were then combined as one image on the Gypsy device. This was copied several times to create lots of boxes.
The alphabet used was Cricut Mickey Font cartridge, the letters I wanted were typed and fixed within all the boxes. When these cut out they created a very narrow outer border and the letter.
The next part was very tricky and time consuming gluing all the letters and border sections to the paler squares - but I think for the end result worth the effort.
Once the glue had fully dried I cut 3 square sections in blue. yellow and white card. reducing in size. these pieces were matted and layered up and fixed to the base card.
The bricks, boy and trolley were all laid out onto the white card to position first. The bricks were stuck first , alternate letters were stuck with double sided tape and the letters in between were attached using 1mm 3d foam pads to create a layered effect.
Finally the boy and the trolley were fixed to finish the card using double sided tape.
