Now on to the card I made.
First, using my Original Misti I stamped my image on Hammermill cardstock using Memento Ink. I then proceeded to colour using Copic markers. In my research while searching out Magnolia flowers, I found some lovely Yellow blossoms. I decided I would use the yellows, and add in a bit of a rose colour as well.
The flower petals have Y38, Y15, Y17, Y08, Y13 and Y02. I then added the YR02 and blended with Y13. The leaves are done using G07, YG05, YG07 and the stems E37, E97, E35 with bits of E57.
Once I was finished with the Copic colouring I ran the image through my Scan'n Cut for a detailed cut. I wanted this done so I could add shadowing inks.
But first I coloured the white border with YR02 so it would fall into the background. I then splattered the flowers with Midas Touch Shimmering Pen.
To do the background using my Life Changing Blending Brushes I applied a layer of Spiced Marmalade Oxide Ink. I then applied a layer of Worn Lipstick Oxide Ink over the Spiced Marmalade.
For my shadow, I placed the flowers in their position and took a picture with my phone to refer to. I then applied Ripe Persimmon Oxide ink, referring to the picture, and using the cut out.
Once the inking was done and I liked the look, I then did splatters again with water and Midas Touch Shimmering Pen. In real life it is beautiful.
I styled the flowers and attached them to my card base using foam squares.
To finish the card I added a bunch of gems around the flowers. I then die cut the sentiment 3 times, colouring the bottom two with E37 and the top one with YR02, R05 and R08 and glued then together as well as gluing to the flowers on the card. I added another gem to the heart of the sentiment.
A friend is going to give this card to her Mom for Mothers Day, so it already has a home which makes me happy.
