Mock Orange Blossom with Rachel Vass Designs



Hello everyone!  Today I'm bringing you another new release from

Rachel Vass Designs:
Mock Orange Blossom

I had this color way in my mind, so although Mock Orange Blossoms are
a white flower with yellow centers,  I chose to go another way completely with
dark red blooms, cool grey leaves and gold centers.

To begin, I laid out my design in my computer and printed it off onto
Neenah 80lb Classic Crest Solar White card stock.

I started coloring the leaves first.  I used the following Copic colors: C-0,
C-1, C-3, C-5, and C-7.  I left the tips of the leaves white.

Next I moved onto the blossoms.  For those I used the following Copic colors:
R20, R32, R35, R37, R89 and Y28 for the centers.

I was really afraid that my reds would bleed (ask me why! 😱).  So I actually
colored these petals completely backward than I normally do.  I started with the
deepest red and moved down really trying not to over saturate the paper.
When the petals were done, I colored in the gold middles.
I die cut my panel with a dotted rectangle die and mounted the panel onto
a light gray A2 size top folding card base.  And that finished my card!


You can find this design and many other beautiful floral digistamps

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
