Hello friends! The card I'm sharing with you was made for the current challenge at The Paper Players. The theme is to make a CAS card with plants. Fun!
After stamping the row of cactus filled pots, I took my T-Square ruler and drew a line with a light brown Copic marker in order to create a "wood" counter for the pots to sit on. I colored in the counter with the lightest marker, used long, sideways flicks with the medium and dark markers, and created shadows with the darkest marker, then blended it all out with the medium and light markers.
After coloring the pots and plants, I used a light blue-green marker to create the background. While covering the plants with my hand I used a mini mister to lightly spray the background with Copic Colorless Blender which gave it a soft textured look (a little hard to see in the photo). Once dry, the panel was die cut with a rectangle die and stamped with the sentiment.
To create the card base, I die cut a frame from white card stock three times to create a bit of dimension, layering on top of one another, then adhered to the light blue card base. I then added the main panel in the center of the frame and called it finished!
Thanks so much for visiting! For those of you in the US, I hope you have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend!
