Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today I’m sharing a spring-themed card combining Penny Black die cuts and stamped images.
I cut the butterflies with one of the dies from the #51-132 Flights of Fancy set and colored them with Copic markers. I inked the #40-282 Twirls stamp with Memento markers and stamped onto white cardstock. The sentiment from the #30-283 Snippets set was heat embossed. I dry embossed the background to add texture.
I’ve been continuing to practice my Copic coloring. This card features one of the adorable images from the Avery Elle Furry Friends set.
After trying several combinations of Copic markers in shades of brown, I was happiest with the technique in which you start with the Colorless Blender and then add color. It gives a softer look to the colored image. I cut the image with its corresponding die. I heat embossed the sentiment from the same Furry Friends set on brown cardstock, then cutting it with the largest tag die from the Gift Tags set. The patterned paper is from an older Studio Calico pad.
For those of you in the US, have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! 2015 seems to be flying by!
Hello! I have a card over on the Penny Black Simplicity site today! I hope you’ll head on over to check it out.
In honor of the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, I’m sharing a card created with Lawn Fawn stamps and dies celebrating camping!
I stamped the trees on the card base with the Memento Peanut Brittle ink for a tone-on-tone look. The sentiment from the Happy Trails stamp set was heat-embossed. I cut the Forest Border and then cut it again with the Tag die, adhering the trees to the sky, also cut with the Tag die. I stamped and Copic-colored the car and camper from the Happy Trails stamp set, cutting them out with their coordinating dies.
Supplies:
Have you seen this month’s Sketch for You to Try at Reverse Confetti?
I’m playing along with a card showcasing a sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Shine Bright stamp set.
I colored the stamped sentiment with Copic markers to create an ombre effect. To give interest to the sentiment panel I used the Office Edges Confetti Cuts set. To the card, I added a sun cut with the Sun ‘n Clouds Confetti Cuts set and banners cut with the Stitched Flag Trio set. Lastly, I added flowers cut with The Tweet Life Confetti Cuts popped up with dimensional adhesive.
I hope you’ll play along! Head on over to link up your card on the Reverse Confetti Blog for your chance to win a $20 Reverse Confetti gift certificate and the title of ‘Fetti Fave!
