Hello Crafters!
I hope you're having an amazing weekend!
Mine has been busy but it's given me lots of good Youtube stories so it's a partial win haha.
Before I launch into story mode I wanted to make sure I shared this bright and fun card with you. I originally shared this over on the WPlus9 Blog.
I was just so tired of the snow cards after Christmas I had to break out! (Insert me sitting at my computer singing Breakout by the Foo Fighters. Feel free to enjoy it yourself here ) For a long time I felt like I had to make things during specific seasons. That's silly. Don't do that to yourself.
I used several stamp sets outside of their intended theme which I really enjoy. These Sympathy Lilies are gorgeous and have no business being relegated to only sad cards. I brightened them up with some copic coloring then added detail with my colored pencils.
I used the large background stamp from Tropic Fever to do some tone on tone stamping in the background. Even though I had to switch up my background from how I originally intended it I love how the Salty Ocean Distress Ink makes the colors in the flowers really POP!
You can see the entire card in the video below.
Sometimes just rolling through the process gives you an unexpected but happy surprise. If I hadn't had the issues with the background I would never have tried fussy cutting the flowers and leaves out. AND I love the dimension that gives the card.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
I have a bunch of stories in the hopper so I'll be back soon :)

Stunning!!! I love the card and the way you fix things that went wrong. I learned a lot from you.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I didn't receive a email notifiation that this post was on the blog, is there something wrong? I normaly get them. Gladly I also get the You Tube notifications, I don't want to miss your videos. Thank you so much for showing.
Beautiful as always! Question- could the green “leaves” that had no veining on them actually be closed lily blooms? I used to grow these and the lilies always had lots of closed pods that had not bloomed? I ask because I see the stamp had leaves in the background. Either way your work is always unbelievably beautiful and I learn so much from your videos!
ReplyDeleteOh you used my colors. I love your card. I love that you show how to fix the background so it worked. Great idea cutting out the image. I love your tips and tricks. Thank you for the inspiration.
