Perfect Peony with Polkadoodles

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm bringing you more Spring goodness with

this gorgeous digital stamp set from

Perfect Peony Digital Stamp Bundle

I am so ready for warmer weather and flowers!  I love peonies and this

stamp set is gorgeous!  Let me show you how I made my card project.

I sized my peony image in the computer and then my digital paper behind

that flower cluster.  I love digital stamps and being able to print off the

stamp along with the background paper in one printing.

My sentiment was printed underneath this panel just on the white part of the

paper.  I used white card stock to print this out.  I trimmed up my image

somewhat just to make it easier to move around as I colored.

I started with the peony in the back.  I liked it but it was a bit dark so

I decided to color the other 2 flowers lighter.

In between coloring the flowers with my Copic markers, I added just

a few layers of green to the stems and leaves.  This gave me a better

perspective as I was coloring.

Because the background was a saturated shade of green, it could

support the brighter pinks of the peony.  Copic colors used:

RV02, RV55, RV000, R39, R20, R85, R32, R37, R35, R83,

Y02, Y15, G82, YG11, YG63

I used some of the lighter pinks to color the sentiment before I die cut it.

I die cut the colored panel so it measures 4" x 5 1/4".  I used a white card

stock card base that was top folding and adhered bright pink card stock to it.

I adhered my sentiment across the bottom of the colored panel.  I added a

few pretty pink confetti sequins to complete the card!

I love the bright colors of this card.  You can find this wonderful digital

Mason Jar Bouquet with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing my last project for the month

Guest Designing for

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

Mason Jar Bouquet Stamp Set

Whew!  February went by in a flash!  So, I'm bringing you some spring

cheer with my card today!  I chose everything ahead of time with this

card project.  I made an A2 size top folding white card base, adhered a

piece of double sided patterned paper to the front 1/8" smaller than the

base.  I embossed an olive color panel for the front that measures

3 1/2" x 4 3/4" and from the patterned paper I cut 2 strips - one is about

an inch or more and the other about 3/4" wide.  I tore the ends of these

2 strips diagonally.  I heat embossed my image and my

sentiment with gold embossing powder onto watercolor paper.

My plan was to watercolor my floral image to match the colors in

the patterned paper.

I put a wash of color on my elements of the image.  I used a watercolor

set that contained a nice rainbow of colors.

My set did not contain orange or purple so I mixed colors where I was

lacking.  I bumped up the color with some shading using a darker, more

concentrated version of the colors.  After everything was painted and

dried, I fussy cut both the image and the sentiment.

I foam taped my mason jar image and then put the sentiment half over the jar

and one half hanging off.  On the part that hangs off I  added the same

same foam tape so it would be level with my jar.  I added some glittery

enamel dots that really looked nice against the colors and that

finished my card!

I hope I've given you a month of inspiration as we head into

spring!  You can find this stamp set and many more as well
