My First Shutter Card


I decided to attempt a shutter card. It is actually pretty easy. I just have to account for the folding when I place my pieces. My long words get cut off when looking at it folded, but I still like how it turned out in the long run. And my next one will be better, I promise!

This one is for a bunch of challenges, so before I get into the details here they are:
Cupcake Inspirations: colors and the cupcakes
Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge: use a DDS image and use fancy folds
Pile It On: layers
CPS: sketch
Paper Sundaes: mixed mediums
Sentimental Sundays: 1 solid paper, 2 patterned papers, 3 embellishments & a sentiment

The card is 5 1/2"x2," when all folded up. I used a Doodle Dragon Studio image and colored it. I colored the shadows and shading with markers and colored the rest of it with my Prismacolor pencils. The two patterned papers are from DCWV Sweet Stack. The cupcakes are from Doodlecharms. I used my Gypsy to stack the cupcakes and then I welded them. I cut out individual cupcakes and then I cut out their layers, cutting off the candles when I was done. I used Stickles for the sprinkles. I glued the first cupcke directly on the welded image, then pop-dotted the other two at differnt heights. All the sentiments are stamps from my stash. I added some fun swirly stickers to the card as my embellishment, plus the colors were perfect for the color inspiration. The fart right part I left blank for writing a message.
