Hi everyone,
We are so happy to have Linda W. as our Guest Designer today. Linda is a long time Hero Arts Flickr group member, she was a Hero Arts Hostess, and she is a super talented lady. You can find her on her blog: Scrappin, Stampin, & Singin and her flickr photo stream here. Now let’s hear from Linda.
===========================================
Hey everyone – Linda W. here – I’m excited to Guest Designing on a2z today!! It’s the final day of this month’s Birthday Bash Challenge and I have a fun floral birthday card to share with you.
- Dry emboss the stencil on white panel using any diecutting machine and rubber mat.
- Brayer ink over the embossing and then blend with more inks, spritzing with water as needed, to create background.
- After it dries, mat panel to a yellow layer and add to a turquoise top-fold horizontal A2 card.
- Die cut a bunch of Flowers for Coloring from white Copic friendly cardstock.
- Stamp the diecuts with the matching flower and leaf stamps (I popped them into the diecut negatives and used a MISTI).
- Color flowers and leaves with Copic Markers and add details (white gel pen, Glossy Accents) as desired.
- Stamp sentiment onto a white doily and adhere it to the card.
- Arrange the flowers and leaves as desired and adhere using glue dots and varying heights of foam.
========================================
