Love Anniversary Card

This is a card I made for my in-laws anniversary. I took this opportunity to play with the Copic airbrush system. Using the stencil Leaf & Flourish, Hero Arts/Basic Grey I used Copic Markers Y17, BG05, and YG09.

The sentiment, love, is a Stampin' Up die cut from Expressions. The cardstock mat is also Stampin' Up Tempting Turquoise.

I added a few Darice sequins, 5mm and 8mm, in Crystal.  It was fun playing with the airbrush!

Thinking of You with Arboscello Tree

I can't believe it has been so long since I posted! Guess I better get back on track.

This card is for my next OWH box.

The patterned background is made using a Hero Arts/Studio Calico Lattice background stamp. I stamped it in Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  The colors are added using Distressed Ink Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn and Forest Moss using the mini blending tool. It was then splashed with water. After drying, it was sprayed with Heidi Swapp Color Shine.

The tree is a die cut, Memory Box Arboscello Tree. I used the same above distress inks to color the branches and leaves and Gathered Twig for the trunk. Wink of Stella clear, although it does not show in the photograph, covers the entire tree.

The background cardstock is Stampin' Up Always Artichoke. The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Find Joy set, stamped in Memento Ink Rich Cocoa.

Although this card was a bit time intensive, I am pleased with the final result!

Daniel

A while back, I posted the digi from The Greeting Farm - Daniel - after I had been coloring and experimenting with different colors for hair.

I finally got around to making cards with the image:

The plain cardstock is Stampin' Up (Elegant Eggplant and Gumball Green). The patterned paper is from a Studio Calico 6x6 pad.

The sentiment is from Paper Smooches Bold Buzzwords, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I edged the outside of the sentiment cardstock with the YG25 marker to make it stand out against the background. Daniel was colored with Copic Markers in the following colors:

It was kind of fun working outside my normal comfort zone - blue hair can be fun!!
