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.

========================================

Wow isn’t that a stunning card!!  Thank you Linda, for designing for us.   To see more from Linda, visit her blog post, and leave her some comment love!
