Kantenhocker - edge sitter

It's finally Saturday again which means it's time for another issue of SEME. Today the lovely Bärbel Born is our guest and she has the enchanting idea for cute edge sitters for us.
- festes Papier zum Bestempeln
- eine spitze Schere
- Kleber
- Stempel, Stempelkissen und Colorationsmedium
***
You need:
- thick paper to stamp on
- sharp scissors
- glue
- stamp, ink pad and coloring medium
***
First stamp your image with an ink pad of your choice to your thick paper. I used heavy watercolor paper and a water resistent ink pad so I can use my watercolors to color.
***
Color the image with the medium of your choice. I used watercolors from Lyra.
***
Now scratch the paper at the folding line but NOT the image. I use sharp scissors. Only scratch so you will be able to fold your paper and get a straight edge. But don't scratch through your image!
***
Now cut your image above and under the folding line. Let some millammeter stay in the middle of the image. Here it's the space between the fairys knees and fingertips. Otherwise you will accidentally cut out the image completely. I marked the cutting edges so you can see where to cut. The line under the fairy is the scratch line.
***
Now fold along the scratched line but don't fold the image itself!
***
You could use the image as place card right now but you shouldn't cut out the bottom part in this case.
***
For an edge sitter you cut out the bottom part of the image. Glue the top and bottom paper parts together noch. Ready is your edge sitter.
***
For a safe standing you push the glued paper parts under a book or another weight.
***
For a beautiful result you should take care that your top and bottom parts of the paper have the same size. I didn't think about that here.
***
If you want to give your edge sitter away you can add some paper layers to the glued paper parts to hide the holes you got when cutting the image out.
Kleiner Tipp: Sitzende Motive eignen sich übrigens auch hervorragend als Blumenstecker! Um diese wetterfest zu machen, könnte man das Motiv z. B. laminieren.
***
A little hint: Sitting images are also perfect for flower picks! You could try to laminate the image to make it waterproof.

COOL! Erstmal hast Du es geschafft, mein kryptisches Geschreibsel über diese kniffelige Mitte in wenigen Worten exakt und weit besser auszudrücken, und eure Kantenhocker sind echt Zucker! Danke Dir, Bärbel
Hihihi, nachdem ich wusste was du meinst war es dann gar nicht mehr so schwer und ich hab's bei meiner kleinen Kantenhockerin dann auch gemerkt ;) Ist auf jeden Fall eine echt süße Idee, vielen Dank für's Teilen!
