Modern Roses: No Line Copic Coloring with WPlus9

 Hello Crafters!

I hope you're having an amazing weekend!
If you've seen my last few posts you know I've been into the clean and layered look lately. You can see some more examples here, here, and here.

Don't worry I still have mad love for my one layer cards.
But sometimes it's nice to switch it up ya know?
I thought the new Modern Roses from WPlus9 were a perfect way to change it up. An image I love and am comfortable with can really make the difference when I'm trying something different.
Kinda like a security blanket. 

For this card not only to I delve into a more layered look I also ditched my ride or die black outline stamping. I know, it's insane. It's not invasion of the pod people I promise. No line coloring is a challenge for me. However, it's good to challenge yourself so every once in a while I try it again. and every time I get better. :) 

Originally I intended to makes this a one layer card but I just couldn't bring myself to do it ha! I stamped the flowers in a slightly darker gray ink then normal. I knew the cool gray color from Silver Lining would blend well with the purple copic markers so I wasn't worried about the end result. Plus it gives me a slightly bolder line to work with in coloring. Which we all know makes me much more comfortable. I stamped and masked the flowers to create a symmetrical swag for both the top and bottom of the card. 

I used the same violet copic combination for all the flowers but switched it up for the leaves. Having two different colored leaves is a simple way to make a bouquet or swag of flowers look more dynamic. I opted for true greens and yellow greens. Once the coloring was done I fussy cut the entire swag so I could change the layout. I used the large die cut from Onward & Upward to cut out a base for my sentiment. I also used the stitched ironworks background to add some interest to the background.  

In order to break up the white on white I found a perfectly matched piece of purple glitter paper! yay! I traced the die on the backside of the glitter paper using the outer most edge. This will create a piece slightly larger than your die cut. 

I combined two of the sentiments in Onward & Upward to make it an encouragement card. Everything was adhered with foam adhesive and a few Nuvo Jewel dots finished it off. 

You can see the entire card in the video below!
