The Coloring Channel – Cherry Blossoms

Sep13

Today I’m sharing a card that I made following a video from the The Coloring Channel – Cherry Blossom colouring class by Alyce Keegan. She taught us how to colour this beautiful flower in this amazing class. She challenged us to colour a flower. I have always found flowers challenging to colour and so that is why I selected this one.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. Cardstock. Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock was die cut using Product Well – PWD-08 Rectangle Feather Deckle Edge Nested Die Set and applied to the base using liquid glue.

The image provided by Alyce was printed out with my Epson Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Greyscale and coloured in with Copic markers as per the class instructions. The finished image was then die cut using the same die set mentioned above.  U-Line Double-Sided foam tape was attached to the back of the image and it was popped up onto the card. I chose a sentiment from Paper Rose Studio – Happy Birthday Sentiment Sheets and went around the edges with a Copic R85 marker and popped it up onto the card using U-Line Double-Sided foam tape. Lastly, I coloured some white pearls with Copic Marker R83 and attached them to the card to finish it off.

Sending Hugs and Prayers

Jul12

Today I’m sharing a CAS card that I made using  Cherry Blossom Bird (KLM Digital Designs).  This image from KLM Digital Designs new release comes with 2 beautiful sentiments “Sending Hugs & Prayers” and “Sending Hugs” which could be used for an Inspirational, Get Well or Sympathy Card! I think we could all use a little hug! So I’m sending you all a virtual hug today!

For this card, I printed out the image with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using Grayscale. Then I coloured it in with Copic markers. Once the colouring was completed, I traced around all of the image with a Micron 01 Fine Liner to make the flowers and leaves pop.  I created the background surrounding the flowers using Copic YR20 and YR21. Then I used a Q-Tip and mottled the background using some rubbing alcohol and just dabbing here and there. Double-side tape was used to adhere the blue cardstock to a white base card cut at 5.5″ x 4.25″. The finished image was glued onto the card base and some Kraftin’ Kimmie Enamel Dots were added to finish it off.
