Hello everyone! A springtime card for you today using products from
I was really drawn to this digital stamp. I love vintage vibes and this one
is so gorgeous! I had a little hiccup along the way and I'll show you how I
fixed it! I started by sizing my image in my computer and printing it out onto
white card stock.
My intent was to color this with my Copic markers. So I colored the
gold finch first and then the background.
This did not work for me on so many levels. So I decided to cut the
gold finch out and proceed from there. I fussy cut it out - minus the
feet - and then went around the edges with a black marker.
Next I printed out the image onto some paper from my stash that
actually looks like old crinkled paper. I used various shades of yellow
to color the bird and a little bit of orange for the beak. To make the eye
stand out, I went around it with a white gel pen, then made the black
pupil bigger so you could barely see the white pen. I added a little
white to the beak as well.
I die cut this image with an A2 size die from my stash. Then I inked around
the edges with brown ink. I did a tiny bit of coloring to make the branch
stand out and I colored the feet. I stamped a sentiment from the Mason Jar
Bouquet Stamp Set and it didn't look good. So, I took a scrap of the
background paper, stamped it again, trimmed it out, went around the edge
with a black marker, glued it flat to the surface and adhered some nail head
sequins to each corner. I adhered this to a Kraft colored A2 size card base
and my card was done!
I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial. It is really a quick way to make
a card in a hurry! You can find this digital set and the sentiment set
and so many more stamp sets - both photopolymer and digital at
