Calla Lilies with Rachel Vass Designs

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm bringing you more inspiration from

the February Release of

Rachel Vass Designs

Calla Lilies

This is a lovely set to make those cards that we all need from time to time.  I love

the variety of sentiments in this set.  I had an idea for my card and that was to

print it out onto colored card stock and color the lilies with colored pencils.  So,

I composed my design and printed it out onto to gray card stock that had a

hint of purple in it.

I started coloring and it went quickly down hill from there! 😟.   So,

onto plan B!  I still wanted to use the gray background, so I decided to print

the design out onto Neenah 80lb Classic Crest Solar White card stock and

then cut it out after coloring it with my Copics.

I kept the coloring very simple since this was a relatively simple

design with no extra lines of drawing or shading.

Copic markers used:

BV0000, V000, YG02, YG11, G07

Instead of trimming out the enclosed spaces between the flowers,

I chose to print the design again on the gray card stock by flipping it

the other way in my printer.  Then I cut from that the inner spaces that

I need to fill in to cover the white.

Before adhering those bits in place, I used a black water-based marker to

go around the edges of the gray pieces.  I cut out the entire image and used 

the black marker again around the edges.

I made an A2 size side folding card base out of white card stock.  I covered

the front of it with a patterned paper that was white with lavender splatter.

It is from Lawn Fawn "Spiffy Speckles".  I cut a black layer that was 

3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and my main panel measures 3 3/4" x 5".  I adhered all

3 layers onto the card base.  Around the main panel I used peel-offs from

Love From Lizi.  They were white edged with silver.  Then, using 1/4"

sheer white ribbon I tied a knot and adhered it under the lilies and above

the sentiment and my card was done!

This is really a lovely set and could be used for many occasions.  I hope

I have given you some inspiration!  If you haven't visited Rachel's
