This is my second post of the day. I am just about ready to head north for Minneapolis to attend Junkie Fest. But first, I am sharing 3 more cards for Stamplorations using more gorgeous florals. Be sure to read about the chance to win $15 to the Stamplorations store at the end of the post!
The first is colored with Copics~
The hummingbird and small flower with him is from the Birds and the Blooms stamp set. The yellow flowers are from the Blossom Sprays #2 stamp set. They have been stamped twice. Minimal masking was then done to add the small orange flower and hummingbird into the scene. All was colored with Copics.
This is just a process photo, about midway through the project. The background was colored with Copics and then texturized with rubbing alcohol and burlap.
The sentiment is from the fabulous, Fond Expressions Stamp Set.
Close up of Mr. Hummingbird. He is coated in Wink of Stella to give him a beautiful shimmer.
This second card also uses the Blossom Sprays #2 Stamp Set; it is watercolored with Arteza Watercolor Brush Pens.
Adding color in layers.
Starting on the greenery
The third card is more contemporary and uses the Best Mom Ever Stamp Set.
Contemporary flowers call for nontraditional colors.
The flowers and background are colored with Copics. A Copic Blender Pen was used to
add texture to the background.
The card base panel is sponged with some Soft Sky ink over the Shower of Flutters
stencil.
To finish off the card I spritzed the image panel with the most shimmery of sprays (top secret at this time) and added some sequins. I used a white gel pen to highlight flower centers. The sentiment is from the Birds and the Blooms Stamp Set.
To see these and more gorgeous coloring inspiration from the rest of the guest designers, check out the Stamplorations Blog! AND, there just may be a mini blog hop again, with a chance to win $15 to the Stamplorations store!
That's it for me; I hope I have inspired you to get out your favorite coloring medium!
