TASSIE DEVIL EASEL CARD

TASSIE DEVIL CONGRATULATIONS

An often overlooked source of card toppers are postcards!  This fearsome fellow is from Tas Postcards and Souvenirs.

An extra fold has made one of Regal's 3 panel square cards into an easel so that he sits up on display.  The circle that keeps him upright is made from paper clay using a combination of techniques - first it was made light green by colouring with a green marker onto a little white ball of clay and then mixing it through by kneading.  I rolled the clay out, pressed it onto an embossing folder and left to dry, the die cut into a circle and brushed over with a black ink pad.  It sounds complicated but if you work step by step its easy!

The card just squeezes through as standard thickness and as paper clay (Magic clay) is very light, doesn't weigh too much so you could send this as a special greeting from Tasmania, although I think that a pre-schooler might like it for their birthday too! I've added a "Congratulations" peel off sticker, honestly just because it was in the cupboard......you could add your own greeting with either a sticker, a computer print-out, stamp or die-cut to suit the occasion.
