Hello everyone! It's New Release Day at:
This is such a fabulous new release! I love making fall cards and this digistamp set
has so many possibilities!
I decided to really work with my patterned for this design. This paper pad comes from
Unity Stamp Company and it's gorgeous! Yellow is not my favorite color, but this
paper is so yummy!!!!!! I first composed my design in my computer and printed it
out onto a piece of the patterned paper by taping it onto a sheet of copy paper that
had the design printed on it, then running it through my printer again.
This is a coated paper and my printer is inkjet. I actually let it sit overnight before
I started coloring, but I think you could hit it with a heat tool and it would help.
Even so, in my Copic coloring I was very careful with the outline...particularly with
light colors as they contain more blender.
Copic colors used:
Yellow: Y06, Y08, Y17, Y38
Brown: E33, E35
Red: R02, R14, R35
Orange: YR15, YR07, YR16
I did not do any vigorous blending. The ink sits on top of this paper and
it blended quite easily.
I made my card base out of some plain yellow card stock. I made an A2 size
card base and covered it with another piece of the patterned paper leaving
1/8" on the top and bottom of the card base. So that piece measured
4" x 5 1/2". Next I trimmed down my printed and colored piece and that
measured 3 1/4" x 5 1/2".
For trimmings, I wanted them to be subtle so I used copper peel-offs
on the top and bottom of the printed focal piece. I went over the veins in
the leaves with an orange glitter gel pen and used tiny orange triangle
bits instead of traditional sequins. And that finished my card!
I hope you enjoyed today's project! I just love the brilliance of fall
colors! This design would look awesome on a slimline card!
