Hello everyone! Hope this post finds you well and virus free. It's blizzarding
where I live and the power is out!!! I can't wait for real spring to arrive!
Today I'm featuring a stamp from the April 2020 Release of
Springtime Background
It's a beautiful digistamp! Let me show you how I made my card.
I started by sizing my stamp in my computer, printing it off onto Neenah
80lb Classic Crest Solar White card stock. Then I trimmed it to
4" x 5 1/4 and then placed a smaller stitched die measuring 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"
directly in the middle of my panel.
I was really trying to put the focus on the middle flower.
I wanted to color the middle flower on the smaller panel only. I used
my Copics for this and these are the colors I used: B41, B23, B32, B26.
After I finished coloring I ink blended with Blue Print Sketch Distress Oxide
ink so the other flowers would have color as well. I also colored in the
background bits with the B26 Copic marker to make the background recede.
I then took an A2 size top folding white card base and adhered a panel of
dark navy card stock measuring 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" on it. Next I adhered
my evacuated piece of printed panel.
Next I adhered my colored panel directly over the evacuated piece using a piece
of fun foam. I felt the colored panel needed a bit of sparkle so I added some
iridescent blue gemstones to the center of the big flower. Then I added shimmer
with a Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen to the petals of the center flower and the centers
of the other flowers on the colored panel.
It still needed a bit of something and I added the die cut and stacked (3 of them)
"thanks" to the lower left corner. I also took the shimmer pen to that after I
adhered it to the blue panel. And that finished my card!
I am really loving how this came out! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial as well!
