Hello again! Today I’m sharing a card that is very similar to one I created a few weeks ago…
I started with an A2-sized card base and masked off about 1 and a half inches at the bottom, and then began stamping various floral images from the Altenew Hello Sunshine stamp set. I used SSS Intense Black Ink for this, because I knew I’d be coloring the images in with my Copic markers after I finished all the stamping.
I colored everything with a combination of Copic colors and I really ended up loving the color scheme. I then outlined each image with a gray marker (N2) to make everything stand out a bit more. After that, I added a line of liquid platinum embossing powder across the bottom of the card to delineate the space between where the white space and the stamped part of the card met.
For the sentiment, I die cut the SSS Sending wafer die from some dark gray card stock several times and stacked them up (using spray adhesive to stick them together). I stamped the lots of love part of the sentiment on the panel before adhering my Sending die cut just above it.
I also entered this card into the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge. You can read more about the challenge (and enter a card!) by clicking here.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Adore the color combos! And the strip of embossing!
This is really pretty and super creative! I love the gray outline, it’s super subtle but really makes a huge impact!
Thanks so much! Yes, I really like adding a little gray (or any light color) outline on cards like this, it adds a nice little touch! Hope you had a great weekend! :)
