In Full Bloom ft. Pajama Crafter Stamps

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing this sweet floral card using

products from

Pajama Crafter Stamps

In Full Bloom Stamp Set

In Full Bloom Die Set

This stamp set makes such a sweet card.  Most of the sentiments are

spring related, but with another sentiment it works for every occasion!

Let me show you how I made my card.

I first stamped and die cut my images onto white card stock.  I die cut

the images first so I wouldn't have to start over if I messed up - LOL!

I also picked out my papers for my card base.  I used a white speckled card

stock for my A2 size card base, then a panel of pink card stock, then a panel of

flowered card stock that was die cut using a need scalloped rectangle 

die and then finally an aqua panel die cut with another of the same set

of scalloped rectangle dies.

I also stamped and die cut a banner.  Next it was time

to color up the images.  I decided I wasn't going to use the

watering can so I saved it for another project.

I put a layer of the lightest color onto the parts of the image.  This

serves as sort of a map to make sure I didn't color something in error.

I was quite pleased with how the coloring turned out.  I wanted it to

stand out from the background, but not totally overtake it.  It didn't

take long to color and I kept the bend fairly easy.  I used the colors

in the floral paper as my guide to color choices.

Copic colors used:  E30, E34, YR31, B41, B32, B34, BG11, BG13,

G12, YG03, R20, R24, R14, C2, C7, C5, C3

I adhered my aqua panel with thin foam tape.  I added the sentiment in the

lower left corner trimming off the straight end to fit.  I added the butterfly

with foam tape.  I used a shimmer pen on the flower center and the butterfly.

I did a bit of black pen work on the butterfly and then wherever I had used

the shimmer pen I used Glossy Accents.  Then I sprinkled some tiny

gems around the image for a bit of sparkle.  And that finished my card!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  Such a sweet card with images

that could be used for so may things!  You can find the products that

Hello everyone!  Thanks for joining me today as we kick off the February Release at

What a cute set and so appropriate for the times we are living in!  So

many great sentiments!

Let me show you how I made my card.

I first chose the patterned paper for the background.  I wanted to color match

my image to the paper.

I had decided on a mini slimline, so my white base measures

6 1/4" x 3".  

My paper came from an older Doodlebug Paper Pad and I liked the colors

that were bright but didn't necessarily scream spring...definitely not spring where I live!

Copic markers used:

Pink Flowers:  RV02, RV55, RV17, RV63

Flag & stamps:  BG49

Leaves & grass: YG00, YG03, YG23, YG25

Mailbox:  C0, C2, C3

Post:  Y15, Y28

I cut my background paper to 2 3/4" x 6" and matted it onto a dark blue

card stock that was 1/8" bigger all the way around.  I decided to separate my image

 from my sentiment and I backed these both with the same dark blue card stock.

I adhered all of that together, but before foam taping it to my base, I tied some

thin green twine between the main image and the sentiment.  Then I added a

small lime green heart also from Doodlebug.  I placed foam tape on the back

of the panel and adhered it to my white base and my card was done!

This was a cute easy card to make!  You could color match it to any of

your favorite patterned papers!
