Who's Your Mummy??
>> Wednesday, September 21, 2011
Hello Friends, Chrissy D here. Do you have ever have cards you think you had a touch of Creative genius for and can't wait to create it? Well, this was one of those cards for me... I have had this idea in my head for THREE weeks ever since I saw the Sneak Peek to these fabulous fall images! I had a different ribbon in my head, but I think I used is on something else, so settled for simple white grosgrain.
Here are some details to my card... I started out by stamping Frisky Florence on white storm card stock and colored her in very quickly and simply. I did not focus on the detail of coloring her because I figured she would be covered up! I then carefully cut around her and cut the hat completely off. I even trimmed the sides of her skirt down because it stuck out too far for the mummy look right. I used a Craft Knife to cut in between her body where her arm bends on both sides, so I could weave the ribbon through it.
Once Frisky Florence was cut out, I put adhesive on the front of her legs and behind them and started to "mummify" her. :) I worked up each leg and then her body. Some of the ribbon I cut and glued to the back to get her to look well wrapped!
I used the Marbled Smooch technique on the Blue panel and layered the card with Black and White cardstock. I embossed the blue panel with the Sizzix Flowers and Flourish set. I used the Spellbinders dies called Ovals and the Elegant Ovals along with my Grand Calibur!
Additional tools were a Martha Stewart punch, gems, mini glue dots, Paper Snips, Copic markers, white gel pen and a Black marker too! I added the Who's Your Mummy image to finish off my card...
So what do you think?
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a great day!

Wow, this was a stroke of genius! Very very clever!
I am so not worthy to be on a DT where people are this awesome and creative! I didn't think it was possible to love Florence any more than I did...'till now :) Fantastic!
Outstanding! This is so clever Chris and so well put together. Terrific job!
Awesome! Love how you "mummified" Florence! Nice Layout too!
Chris, I don't know how I missed this! Absolutely adorable. I love her wrapped up like a mummy. Super clever and cute.
What a fun card, Chris! It's funny, I was looking at Florence yesterday (before I saw this)and thinking about doing the same thing. Luckily, I went another direction, lol. Very creative!
Awesomely Awesome! A stroke of genius and a fantastic execution!
