Hello Crafters!
Well my four days off of work have been extremely kind to my crafting life.
I wish I could do this all the time haha!
Before we get to the card just FYI the Honey Bee Stamp sale is over at midnight tonight.
Okay, onto this card.
Which is not a typical Kelly card.
I'm pushing those boundaries, how about you?
There's patterns and dies! Multiple dies people.
Aren't you proud of me?!
I love the Rectangle Window Trio and though it would make for a great foundation piece. I used the Polka Dot Stencil with my distress oxides and gold perfect pearls to create my own patterned paper for the background.
Once the base was done I moved on to stamping out my leaves and flowers so I could get the Copic coloring in! In the video I talk a little about various red combinations you can try.
After the coloring was complete, I headed over to my big shot to cut everything out. Including this gorgeous script "Merry" I stacked a few of those on top of each other so they wouldn't be as fragile.
You can see the whole card from start to finish below.
I thik adding that fourth flower made a world of difference in the design.
What about you?
I'm also loving how the red and green pops against all those neutral colors.
Thank you so much for visiting!
I hope to see you guys again soon :)

Awesome card Kelly, love that you broke the "rule of three". I personally use no rules, I put it together in a way I like it. I never heard of the triangle rule before I watched your videos and posts. Speaking of this post, whe (I live in Holland) don't use winter anemones with Christmas, whe have Poinsettias, Helleborus and Amaryllis. But I love yours, I love flowers to have and to colour. Thank you so much for today and I hope storie time on the next one.
ReplyDeleteKelly, this card is so lovely. Using the triple set of windows with the stenciled background works so well with your floral arrangement. Will be using this design idea for future card making. tfs
ReplyDeleteLook at you, using multiple dies, so proud of you! haha! You are so funny...and talented...beautiful coloring as always! Wishing you more '4 days off from work' (for all good and fortunate causes) for happy crafting life! = )
ReplyDeleteRules are meant to be broken when it comes to card making. If it doesn't look right then add or take away.. Depends. I love your card and colors. Thanks for showing the two different color swatches. I love what you used. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping the same best effort from you in the future as well. In fact your creative writing skills has inspired me. Merry Christmas Messages Wishes in french
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, I agree that although you did follow the design rules your card does make more of a wow with the four flowers not the three, hey rules are there to be bent a little sometimes. I owe you a huge thank you. Why you say ? Because of tombo mono glue ! I've watched you all year while I've used another glue, now it's a good glue but wow that tombo glue rocks, I'm not going back to the other, it's wonderful. So thank you for the introduction. W Merry Christmas to you & peanut from me & my lil clan x
