Hello everyone,
Heffy Doodle is also taking part in the blog hop today to celebrate ‘Autism Awareness Day’, which means i have another fun project for you guys. The whole Heffy Doodle team have a collection of projects over on the Heffy Doodle blog – check them out by visiting here.
Here is a peek at my card.
For this special occasion, I wanted to step away from my usual A2 sized cards, and do something a bit different (at least its different for me) – so i am making a DL sized card today.
I cut a piece of card slightly smaller than my card front, and stamped my greeting using the Unbearable Without You stamp set by Heffy Doodle. Next I masked off an area and used my distress inks to create a BLUE-tiful inked background area. To highlight this area even more, i used some faux-stitching dies along the edges (i think they are from Mama Elephant).
For my focal element, i wanted to use this bear. It reminds me of my autistic Brother-in-law Steven, who likes to twiddle his fingers on the periphery of his vision. The way the bear was holding his paws reminded me of that. 🙂 To make this more interactive, i created an acetate wobbler and added the bear on top.
To finish up, I added a speech bubble using the Heffy Doodle Whatcha Saying stamp set, and i layered this up on some blue craft foam… although you can’t really see it in the photos.
Thank you for visiting today and don’t forget to wear blue today to raise awareness for Autism!
Happy Crafting!
Lesley

This is such a wonderful card and I like that there was a lot of thought that went into choosing your critter. The wobble action is just the icing. Wonderful card for a wonderful cause.
