Flowers are like friends
Welcome to my blog, my crafty friends. For day 1 and 2 of the Daily Marker Challenge, I coloured the Foxglove flower image from the Wild Flowers Stamp Set by Isabel Cristina.
The below photograph that I had clicked a few years back was my inspiration for this card.
First, I printed the image on a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock and fussy cut it with my cutter bee scissors. Then I used my Copic Markers to colour it.
Below are the colours I used:
Flowers – R11, R02, R000, YR31, Y02, Y00, 0
Leaves and stem – G28, G17, G14, YG11
I then added details on the image using the below Polychromos:
Flowers – 104, 131, 117, 118, 132, 225, 101
Leaves and stem – 267, 278, 171
To create the background, I used an A2 watercolour cardstock by Altenew and used a size 2 round brush to apply clean water on one side. Next, I used Limeade, Mountain Mist and Emerald Watercolour brush pens to add colour to the cardstock. Then I tilted the panel to let the colour flow through the wet surface of the cardstock. Once I was happy with the background, I splattered all three colours on the card panel.
After that, I stamped the sentiment from the Wild Flora Stamp Set by Altenew using Obsidian Pigment Ink. Lastly, I stuck the flower image on this panel using foam tape and stuck this card panel on an A2 card base using art glitter glue.
I am linking this card to the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge – Bright and Cheerful and The Flower Challenge – Summer/Winter.
