For my Whimsical Spring card, I stamped the floral branch with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics, starting with V06.
Added V04.
I used my blender pen to blend and pull the color into the highlighted areas, then added some V09 for deeper shading at the center. After coloring, I cut out the flowers.
For the background I sponged Memento New Sprout.
Sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves.
Then sponged Memento Lulu Lavender at the top.
Then sponged Memento Grape Jelly, very lightly.
Stamped the branch, from Whimsical Spring.
I began coloring the leaves with YG03.
Added YG95.
For the branch, I started with E35.
Then added E29.
I stamped the silhouette branch with Memento Bamboo Leaves, stamped off on scratch paper first, to make the image lighter. Then I adhered the flowers using Pop Dots.
The circle for the sentiment was cut using a Lacy Circles die, then sponged while still in the die.
I stamped the sentiment, then adhered it to the background using Pop Dots. I added self adhesive pearls to the flower centers and layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and Wild Lila. The card base is Lovely Lavender and finished size is 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Nice color coordination today with both cards! :0 Your new set rocks, I love the branch going vertical, don't know why I didn't think about it that way before!
ReplyDelete(Isn't that sentiment a hoot? love how you chose to show it!)
