Hello Everyone!
I hope you are having a lovely weekend! This week's card is a very colorful one! I'll be using digital stamps from CharliesStamps - CharliesStamps (click here and it will pop up the link to the shop on Etsy!) These are great images to color and craft with.
The supplies for this card:
- Daisy Digital Stamps from CharliesStamps
- Rainbow paper from Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow
- A2 size card base
- Alpha Die ) I used Echo Park Lindsay Lower Case Alphabet/white card stock for cutting
- Leaf Dies
- Green Cardstock
- Colored Pencils
- Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard
- Colored Pencils
- Glue
- Foam Tape
- Scissors
- Straight Edge
I started with my daisies that I printed out on white card stock and then cut out using my Brother Scan 'n Cut, or you can cut them by hand. I colored them using colored pencils keeping the darker tones toward the centers and the lightest tones on the tips of the daisies. I used a combination of Primacolor and Faber-Castel for pencils. All of the centers were colored the same green-yellow blend.
I then die cut my leaves using an Elizabeth Designs die set and all of my letters using Elcho Park Lindsay Lower Case Alphabet using white card stock. I then cut my Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow panel to size - 4" x 5.25" and glued it to the white A2 size card base. I spent some time laying out my elements. When I decided on the composition I began by gluing on the letters. To help me do this, I used my straight edge placed along the side of the card as a guide as I was gluing down the letters.
After I glued them all in place, I then glued on the flowers. I glued the 2 outer daisies flat and popped up the middle one on foam tape. I trimmed up the leaf die cuts as they were a little too full and added a few of the ones I cut off as accents. When everything was glued down, I added Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard on the centers of the daisies and the dot of the "i" in smile. I was pleased that the color of the center of the flowers was visible through the Glitter drops. And that completed my card!
I feel I'm still new to the digital stamp world, but it's so easy! You can use them again and again and print them out whatever size you need. CharliesStamps has a wonderful variety of digistamps with new designs being added often! Her prices are so reasonable! Really, it's a no-brainer!!!!!
I hope you all have a good week coming up and remember to check out CharliesStamps on Etsy! She's also on Instagram @charliesstamps.
Happy Papercrafting and remember....it's only paper!
Betsy
