So Monday morning I woke up to a 12 year old!! How I have no idea, I think I blinked and his childhood was over. He is mad on computer games, especially the switch, mainly as a result of Covid I fear as this was a way to play with his friends. But we do also play quite alot as a family. He is at quite an awkward age but I do think I nailed his card

Card Making Tutorial
The image was stamped on white alcohol friendly paper
A black slimline card base has a strip of coloured card attached at each end
Using a circle cutter the edges were rounded off to create a nintendo switch shape
2 dies were run through the machine 5 times to create a frame. These were all then adhered together
The larger of the 2 dies was used on a sheet of grey card
The sentiments were stamped in versamark and a heat embossed
The black frame was adhered to this
Before being filled with sequins and sealed with a sheet of acetate
I cut a separate sheet of black card with the A6 Die cover plate and used 2 of these frames to cover up the edges. Before adhering this into the centre of the card base
The image was coloured and cut out using the scan n cut
The gamer boy was adhered onto the shaker panel, with double sided tape and the card panel with foam tape to keep the dimension
Black buttons were added to the side panel to give the illusion of the controller buttons
Thank you for reading
Happy Crafting
