Rapunzel in her Tower!

Our Challenge this week at Through The Purple Haze Challenges is to 'Try a New Folding Technique'

We're lucky enough to be sponsored by Stitchy Bear and the wonderful Kay from Hougie provided us with instructions on how to make a Pop Up Box Card.

I had Rapunzel  by Ike's Art at Stitchy Bear to play with.
I decided to extend the height of the pop up box to make it into her tower. 
I found some a printable stone wall pattern and arranged it so it filled a A4 sheet 
& printed it on both sides of the card.



Making the Pop Up Box Card was a breeze on my Hougie Board 
(I've told you many times before how much I love it haven't I? :P )

To build a bit of a scene I added black card to the back layer and hand cut a 'Tower window' to attach to the middle layer so she looks like she's standing in her tower. 
Viewed from the side you can see the different layers.


and from above you can see them even more clearly 
(they are actually straight even though they look decidedly wonky in the photo).


I coloured Rapunzel using a combination of Promarkers and Copics. I fussy cut around her and then trimmed around the bottom section of her hair so it hangs over the edge of the tower.


Promarkers:

Skin - Blush, Sunkissed Pink, Coral. Burnt Orange with Pastel Pink Cheeks
Hair - Tulip Yellow, Sunflower, Gold, Raw Sienna
Dress - Copics - V04, V06, V09


I really hope you like her. 

Thank you our sponsors:



I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Feeling Crafty - Anything for a Child (several people have said how much their daughters/ grandaughters would love receiving this as they'd love to be Rapunzel.)
