Hello everyone! Today I am bringing you a bit of spring cuteness! I'll
be using a digital stamp and digital papers from
This card was so much fun to make. It has minimal coloring, but
came out so cute! Let me show you how I made my card!
I layered my Gil Rabbit image over top of the sky paper with the
green stripe paper underneath him. I wasn't quite sure what direction
I was headed in so I made sure the paper covered a big area.
I die cut a scalloped backing piece out of white card stock and trimmed
my main panel so it would fit inside the white one. I had enough of
the green stripe paper to cut a strip with a straight grass edge die. Once
that was die cut I inked the bottom with green ink.
Although the grass did not reach the top of the green paper, it
accomplished the look I was going for - that Gil was standing
in the grass! Next I did my coloring with Copic markers.
To make the card look more like spring than fall, I colored my
sunflowers to resemble daisies. I did this by coloring the centers
yellow and the petals shaded with a pale blue that matched the
blue of the background.
I did simple coloring and shading. Copic colors used:
YG00, Y02, Y15, Y17, YG11, YG63, YG23, C1, C3, C5,
B93, B95, B97, B000, B01, B000, R00, R02, E33, E35, E37,
W0, W1, W3, W5
Next I layered my card onto the base which measures 4 1/4" x 6" and
is side folding. I adhered my sentiment to the upper left corner. I
embellished my card with tiny iridescent butterfly sequins, a heart
button on Gil's overalls and tiny yellow flowers. I also added highlights
with a white gel pen. And that finished my card!
I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial and it has inspired you to
play with digital stamps and papers. You can find lots of both at
