eenie, meenie, meinie, roe!

i love making funky, unusual-sized cards...right up until the time i have to photo them...at which point i generally vow to convert immediately to A-2's and never stray again! oy.

i mention this because the card you're about to see--made with the new tyggereye SUSHI TONIGHT digital mini-kit-- is accordion folded, with five 2.5 x 2.5" panels. it is ADORABLE in real life. i swear!!! just try to bear that in mind, ok?!

here it is folded up and tied with a bow...being square, it looks fine at this point:

i used some gorgeous green hand-printed paper purchased at pearl paint in chinatown last week; punched circles from some paper co. straw textured paper that's been in my stash for aaaaaaaaages; and for this card i scaled gina's fabulous sushi elements quite small and printed them with their drop-shadow option on matte cardstock. then i used a very fine copic outliner (".1" to be specific) to go around the image and add highlights for a "hand-drawn" sort of look. expanded half-way, the card still looks pretty good:

it was when i tried to photo the entire thing that everything went awry. i just could not get a pic where you could see EVERY frame without it being tiny, crooked and just generally awful; and i'm totally out of time, so we're just gonna go with the best of the worst and call it a day, ok?!

as you can see... (sorta!) ...each panel has a circle, a sushi, and a dymo label. sequentially they read: "eenie, meenie, meinie, ROE!" and then the last panel says, "how about sushi?!" it really *IS* very cute indeed, irl, HONEST! but don't take my word for it, grab up your very own copy of sushi tonight from gina's etsy shop and see for yourself! :)
