Hello 2018! It's Jill here on the Kennedy Grace Creations blog back from a little medical LOA and excited to be able to craft again. My card uses some lovely flower images from KGCs Grace's Little Note stamp set. As I've enjoyed a little sunshine these last few days, I felt like creating something somewhat simple with light, happy colors.
I first stamped the 3 floral images onto some smooth Bristol cardstock with my MISTI so I could get the spacing right. I then used 2 different border dies by MFTs to create the multiple-bordered look.
I inlaid the central flower panel into its matching border die cut, then used some fun Gold Foil cardstock by DCWV on the outside die cut frame. Since I was going to use some Nuvo Jewel Drops on my flower images, I decided to adhere all the layers first before coloring, as the drying time can take as much as 24 hours. I chose a light pink watercolor Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! as my base layer to coordinate with one of the flower colors and make a nice frame of color around all the white going on in the card.
Finally I get to the coloring, my favorite part! I decided to use some markers that I'd not used in a while, the Tombow Dual Brush Pens. I chose 2 greens for the leaves and 3 soft pastel colors in yellow, orange, and pink. After my coloring was done, I picked out coordinating colors of Nuvo Jewel Drops (Limoncello, Orange Marmalade, and Rosewater). I applied the drops somewhat generously, as I wanted dimension. Then I set my project aside to dry. I returned the next morning and adhered the panel to a standard A2 side folding card base. Project complete!
I hope you enjoyed my card idea.
