Make a new friend in the wonderful Gertrude the giraffe. With Colorize technology from Tim Holtz, the Gertrude Thinlits die set is an intricate paper-layering project which enables you to create more dimensional and professional designs than ever before! Unique to the world of die-cutting, Colorize allows you to create realistic dimension using drop shadows and highlights for amazing detail. From papercrafters to mixed-media artists, Colorize is a rewarding new challenge for all, to bring animated characters and elements to life! Each base shape has crease blades identifying where to place layers, before adding your mid-tone and highlight shades. Each layering element is labelled to take the guess work out of placing shades, creating amazing multi-faceted layered results. Gertrude is perfect for embellishing birthday cards, creating amazing framed art and so much more!
