Springish Fiesta Release & Blog Hop with Joy Clair Designs

Hello everyone!  Spring is coming and I hope you are ready for our

Joy Clair Designs Blog Hop

ft.

Springlish Fiesta

You Are Loved

The team has been busy creating inspiration for the newest release

Springlish Fiesta.  There are some gorgeous digital stamp sets in this

release!  All details are at the end of this post.  Today I'll be providing inspiration 

from the "You Are Loved" digital stamp set.  Let me show you how I

made my mini slimline card!

I started out by composing my image and sentiment in the computer.

Sometimes while doing this I may print it out several times on copy

paper just to make sure I have the sizing right.  In this case, I changed

the color of the main image from black to gray.  I wanted a softer

look for my card today.

I started out color matching with a totally different background paper in mind.  I changed

my mind once I got going, but the overall softness of the Copic colors didn't change.

Sometimes I find if I've chosen colors that are too dull or soft, I glaze

them with a brighter color.  Because Copics are transparent, this really

works well to bring brightness to an otherwise dull area.

I was pleased with the tone I achieved for these flowers.

Next, I moved on to the leaves and stems.  Because I changed

the color of the image to gray, I could color over the solid stems

and it would just be a darker shade of green.

Copic colors used:

Y11, Y21, YR21, YR24

Y15, E97, YR18, YR04

G82, YG63, G85

I die cut my sentiment with a stitched banner die and used my

Copic marker C0 to color it.  There is a very pale gray in the

paper, so this really looks harmonious.  I fussy cut my floral image.  

I cut my mini slimline card base so the folded card measures 3" x 6 1/4". 

 I cut my patterned background paper 1/16" smaller.

I adhered my floral piece flat to the background centered and more

to the left.  I adhered my sentiment with foam tape and cut it off flush

on the left side.  I added 3 sparkling gems that had a yellow tint

around the base of the flowers.  And that finished my card!

The team has come up with some amazing cards using the Springlish Fiesta

Release.  For a chance to win - comment on our blogs! 

 Hope to see you all there!
