Hello There with Joy Clair Designs

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing the Hello There Digital Stamp Set from Joy Clair Designs.  This is a beautiful single floral image with some great sentiments.  Let me show you how I created my card!

I started by printing out the main image onto Neenah 80lb. Classic Crest Solar White card stock.  I was unsure if I was going to be using a sentiment from the set or not.  I did print out a few but in the end decided not to use them.

Since this was my main image, I really wanted it to stand out.  I decided to use a dark pink/red.  I knew I could get the deep colors I was going for.

I was really please with these first few petals.

The Copic colors I used:

R81, R83, R85, R37, R89

I wanted to mount this blossom on a white background, so I decided to emboss my white card panel that measures 4" x 5 1/4".  This gives a subtle backdrop for the drama of the flower.  I adhered this embossed panel onto a top folding A2 size white card base that had a panel 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" of deep red adhered to it.

The card needed just a bit more so I used a foliage die from my stash and colored them with my C1 Copic marker.  This gives the eye a bit of a rest from the single flower.  I fussy cut my colored flower.

I adhered the foliage down flat to the card and popped up the floral piece with foam tape.  Once I had the card put together I felt it needed just a little sparkle.  I added some Sparkling Clear Confetti from Pretty Pink Posh and then I took a  Gelly Roll Stardust Pen and gently went over the lines in the middle of the flower.  I went really lightly with the pen.  But it faintly brings the center of the flower into view without being overwhelming!  And that finished this gorgeous card.  I can use it for any occasion!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial!  Such a beautiful image and can be used for so many different things!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
