Botanical Blossom with Rachel Vass Designs

 

Hello everyone!  It's a new month and that means a New Release from

Rachel Vass Designs

Botanical Blossom

I love the botanical image and the sentiment choices are wonderful!

Let me show you how I made my card!

I started by composing and printing out my image onto Neenah 80lb

Classic Crest Solar White card stock.  I knew I was going to trim this

out with a rectangle die, so I carefully placed my images to fall 

into the spaces I was going to need.

I wanted to key my Copic coloring to my background paper, so

choosing my paper at this point was essential.  I finally settled

on a piece of patterned paper from the Craft Consortium paper

from their Ink Blots line.

I kept my Copic coloring quite simple.

I had a 4 color blend for the flowers and a 3 color blend for the leaves.

As I worked on the panel with my Copics I had the piece of background

paper close by.  I kept holding it against the patterned paper as I went

along and I liked it more and more!

Copic colors used:

Flowers:  RV00, RV63, RV55, RV17, RV19

Flower Centers:  G94

Leaves:  YG91, YG95, G94

I had die cut my panel before I started the coloring.  Once the

coloring was complete, I backed that panel with black card

stock that was 1/8" bigger.  I then adhered this to my card base

which is an A2 size side folding white base.

Once that was altogether, I wanted to add a little bit of something,

but not over the top bling.  So, I used some gold glitter

watercolor paint and a very narrow brush.  I did the centers of

the flowers and the center vein of the leaves.

I was pleased with this look, it gives just the smallest amount

of shimmer, which is what I wanted.  And that

finished my card!

I loved how my project turned out.  I especially love having the

ability to twist, turn and flip my images!
