Happy Galentine’s Day
Hello there! Welcome back to my blog. I am so glad you stopped by. Today I would like to share a card I made using the Galentine’s Stamp Set by Crafty Meraki.
When I saw this stamp set, the first thing that came to my mind was how my sister and I always discussed about going to see the Northern lights. It has been our dream for so long, and so I thought of creating a scene where both of us are standing on a balcony enjoying a glass of wine and watching the mesmerising aurora. I am really happy with how it turned out, and my sister was so excited and a little emotional too when she saw the card. This definitely made it worth it.❤️ Until we go there and live this moment, this shall be a reminder of our happy place.
I started by stamping the image on a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock using Memento Black Ink. Then I fussy cut it with my cutter bee scissors and coloured it using my Copic Markers.
Below are the colours I used:
Floral tiara – R27, R22, R20, G19, YG13, YG11
Girl 1:
Skin – E33, E13, E11, E00
Hair – BV29, BV25, BV23, BV20
Dress – RV09, RV14, RV13
Wine – R89, R39, R29, R24, N3, N0, 0
Girl 2:
Skin – E11, E21, E00, E000
Hair – E49, E47, E44, E43
Dress and accessory – YR09, YR04, Y38
Wine – R89, R39, R29, R24, N3, N0, 0
To create the background, I first, smooshed Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, Barn Door and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide Inks on to my media mat. Then I used a rough brush, dabbed it in the ink, and inked a black A2 cardstock. Next, I splattered white gouache on the background using a round brush.
I then cut a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock to 1 * 4 1/4 inches using my trimmer to create the balcony. After that, I drew the top slab of the panel using my Copic Multiliner Pen. Then I coloured the balcony using my Copic Markers – C9, C7, C5 and C3.
Next, I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Obsidian Pigment Ink and fussy cut it with my cutter bee scissors. I then assembled the card panel and stuck it on a card base using art glitter glue.
I have listed the products used below. Thank you for visiting my Blog.
