I wanted the card to have a personal touch, so I quickly became inspired to model the character after her and thought this would be a great DIY to share.
Here are the supplies you need.
-construction paper in the colors you want your pieces to be
-comic strip of your choosing.
- paint; I used black and white for the dust and helmet shine
- Marker
- art knife; it helps with the detail cutting.
First I printed out the comic strip I wanted to use.
I then cut out the parts that I wanted to stand out from the background.
I chose the colors of construction paper I wanted to use and pasted the shapes to the back of the color paper I had chosen for it.
I painted the details on at this point, for example the tire stripes, dust cloud, and shine on the helmets.
After cutting out all the pieces I arranged my cutouts in the shape that I wanted it and placed the foam dots on the parts that I wanted to stick out.
After I was sure everything was where I wanted it, I began pasting.
I went back to look at a picture of my friend Hope and noticed she was wearing frill chaps, so I added those to the character as well.
After everything was finished I folded a piece of card stock pasted my character on the front and wrote the caption in gold marker.
I used different types of paper for different sections of the cutouts to give it texture, it's not necessary, but it's a fun touch.
Let me know if you make your own, I'd like to see it, tag me on instagram. Also if you'd like to see any other DIY's let me know down below.
