Scout

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #39 is the AWESOME movie, “To Kill a Mockingbird”. I think we studied it in high school too, but that’s a bit of a blur.
Okay, I really adored Scout from this movie. I’m not sure why, but she really stood out, which is tremendous for this little girl, cast opposite the incredible Gregory Peck. Anyhoo, that’s where I started at for inspiration for my card. Here she is in one of her gingham shirts & overalls. Sweetie.
I’ve done step cards before, but this is a Side Step Card. I first saw it over here at CraftDoc, with a wonderful tutorial on this funky style of card. I had a houndstooth patterned paper, not gingham, but there ya go. Oh yes, & I only had a handful of different stick kids, so yes, they are carefully repeated.
It folds up quite nicely & I think it would mail well.
And to give you an idea of the mountain & valley folds, here’s a side view:
Be sure to check out craft doc’s detailed tutorial, but here are the basic numbers:
Used: White CS, Holiday Treasure DSP, All God’s Children Stamp Set (SU retired), Versafine Black Onyx Ink, Clear Embossing Powder, Copic Markers, Stampin Up Basic Grey Marker, All Night Media Sign Post Stamp, Raffia, Buttons from my stash.
Got to watch that tutorial… this card inspires me to be adventurous!! Have to try some folds and steps (or mountains and vallets …there’s a whole other language to learn!!).
I think it looks just like gingham, and I like where the movie has taken you. Great card.
You are so creative with this card as usual, Amy! Great card!
This is amazing, Amy! I love it! Thanks for playing along with the Cinema Saturday challenge!
what a fun fun card!
This is just too cool! I love it!
Amy!
You have outdone yourself as usual… What an amazing card… You measurement photo is perfect… I agree the little “Scout” is an amazing little girl… My girlfriend loves the author she named her littlest girl “Harper” I always love seeing you on the challenge and I don’t know what I would do if you were missing from one..
