Hello friends, I hope you are remaining safe and healthy! Today I have a card to share that I made for two challenges. I received some crafty goodness in the mail Monday and immediately set about using it!
Honey Bee's new release included the Farm Fresh Flowers stamp set, which is right up my alley! I inked up the images and set about coloring with my Copic markers, using colors from the inspiration photo.
Once the coloring was complete, the images were die cut with the matching dies. The images are large, plus I wanted to use the birthday die and stamp set that came in my order, and that die cut birthday is the width of a standard A2 card. So, what to do? In my background stash I found this ink blended panel that complimented the flower colors so well, I had to use it. Fortunately it was 4.5 x 6" so I could create a custom sized card, which ended up being 5 x 6.5".
The ink blended panel was trimmed down to fit on the card base, then splattered with water and shimmer spray. After using a paper towel to pick up the liquid, I sprayed the entire panel with shimmer spray. When the panel dried, a frame was die cut into it and a white frame added in order to ground the vase. The die cut sentiment was cut four times from white card and layered up, then adhered to the vellum shadow and added to the card along with the additional sentiment words that were stamped and die cut. The final steps were to use an aqua shimmer pen on all the flowers and add a few jewels.
Thanks so much for visiting, it's always greatly appreciated! Enjoy the rest of your week and stay safe!
