Inspiration: I've made card-versions of few of the Salesforce characters. Since I'm working on a crafting event for a local Women-in-Tech (WIT) group, I thought it might be a good idea to have one for this very popular character representing Architects.
How I Made It: I started from an image I found of the character online. She has her right arm raised up and is wearing her typical outfit (paint splotched shirt, jeans, tennis shoes, pearl necklace). I printed multiple copies of the image in the size of the card I typically make (4 inches by 5 inches). Then I cut out parts and used them to create a template.
I cut out my template and then traced on the colors of paper marked. Gray for the body, ears, arms, and tail. White for the shirt. Blue for the pants. Pink for the cheeks. I chose a shiny black for the shoes (so she ends up wearing patent-leather flats rather than tennis shoes).
On the shirt, I used markers to color in the paint splotches. Then I started to glue all the parts together. I used a shiny light blue gel marker to draw in the pearl necklace after gluing on the shirt. The last part was to use a black marker and draw in the eyes and lashes.
Alternates:
I didn't add much to this card, other than coloring in grass and sky. Since I'm making a bunch of kits for others to make their own versions, it'll be fun to see how they embellish and add to it.
