3-D Safari
9:07 AM Posted In 3-D Safari Edit This 48 Comments »
These 3-D safari cards are made from Taylored Artwork stamps. I taught this class at StampWorks, a wonderful local stamp store in Chandler, AZ and had the distinct honor of meeting Jim Taylor, the artist behind the images and also the owner of Taylored Artwork. Quite by accident, he came to the store while my class was in session. We had a great time in the class and it became even more fantastic when Mr. Taylor brought in a huge basket of over 100.00 worth of Taylored Artwork stamps that we GAVE AWAY in a drawing. One stamper went home VERY happy! Thank you Jim Taylor!!!
Now "how to": Images were stamped multiple times (Marvy Matchables black ink) then cut out and layered. Some layered pieces were molded and shaped by simply pulling the piece between my thumbnail and middle finger nail; the cardstock begins to curl with each pull. The pieces were attached with foam mounting tape to give them dimension. Colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with Gamsol blending fluid. Backgrounds were made with cuttlebug embossing folders. NOTE: The horizontal lines on the base cardstock of the elephant card were made with a Scor-Pal www.scor-pal.com(my newest and now favorite tool!!).
At this time, I'm unable to locate a website for Taylored Artwork (I believe they no longer have one). His fabulous stamp line is avaiable from StampWorks 480-899-5958.
Thanks for looking!

I have several Taylored Artwork stamps. One is of a coyote family and another is of a partridge with a mountain background. They're among my favorites. I bought them several years ago.

Wow.....oh wow! The layers are what really make these cards, Kathy! You did such a super job that I think the stamp creator will do flip flops when he sees them!

Those are absolutely stunning! You will impress him! I may CASE the cards if that is okay.
These are GORGEOUS! How could he not be impressed? Good luck & have fun with your class.
Great cards! I am sure your class will get a huge kick out of them. I love the way that creating the 3-D effect actually enhances the detail of each layer so that your eye is drawn first to the animal and then to the background, giving each part of the image its due.
All 3 are great - but the elephant is my favorite. Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing

Those are really cool. I am sure he will love them.
Kathie, These cards are truly impressive. The embossing sets them all off so well - these cards really make me want a Cuttlebug. I think you more than did the images justice - you'll knock his socks off! Don't be nervous, enjoy, and have a great time. Anna

I have to congratulate you on these three magnificent cards. I hope that your Class went well, as I am sure that it would have and that Jim Taylor was impressed at your interpretation of his images. If he wasnt then there is something worng with his eyes ! :))
Thanks for posting the lovely cards, they quite took my breath away, I loved the colour combinations and I am a fan of 3d effects so they were perfect.

Kathie, your cards are great! I have those stamps too. Love the Taylored Artwork line (and what you did with them)! Thanks for the inspiration. I hadn't thought about doing the 3-D thing with them, but it works and really looks good with the embossed layers.

Kathie,
I really love all the layers, texture and dimension! Awesome. I love what you did with those corners, too.
I have a full sheet of different corners from Rubbernecker....I think I am going to have to dig them out and play with them a bit.
Thanks so much for sharing...and for the inspiration.
