Baby Thor Card

Sometimes I get asked to make the most fun card. This was one of them. I had to make a birthday card for a little boy obsessed with Thor. What better than a little Thor for the little birthday man? I bought a SVG file off Etsy and had a lot of fun with many of my Papermilldirect scraps. On this card I used:

• Papermilldirect Celestial Blue Plain Card
• Papermilldirect Celestial Blue Card Blank
• Papermilldirect Dark Green Plain Card
• Papermilldirect Mango Yellow Plain Card
• Papermilldirect Buff Smooth Card
• Papermilldirect Mocha Brown Plain Card
• Papermilldirect Red Plain Card
• Papermilldirect Pastel Pink Plain Card
• Papermilldirect Slate Grey Plain Card
• Papermilldirect Black Card
• Papermilldirect Extra White Linen Card

That is a long list of scraps isn't it!

I started out by using some white ink and a mini stencil to make some clouds on the celestial blue card that I cut down as a panel for on the celestial blue card blank.

I then used the dark green card to make up my scene by creating grass.

I cut out mountains with my Silhouette machine and put them together using the buff, mocha and white linen card for lots of dimension. I glued these onto the scene with a combination of foam dots and glue to give dimension.

I trimmed off the overhanging mountains and glued this scene panel down to the celestial blue card blank.

I then spent a lot of time with glue, a tweezers, and a toothpick putting my little Thor together! His base layer was the smooth black, his amour the slate grey, his hair the mango yellow and his cape the plain red. I added little trees for some extra interest in the background too.

I added a banner in the sky for the sentiment and it was done! It took a deceptively long time to make, but it turned out so cute it was worth it!
