I used a Cuttlebug folder for the background. I know I should be able to
tell you which one it is and I think it is called Seasons Greetings, but I am not positive. I chose to do the card in all white so the wreath would show better. I tried some patterned paper but it just made the wreath kind of washed out.What I didn't show in the video is that I also shaded around the wreath with Ice Grey 1. I then cut the wreath out and it didn't take near as long as I thought it would. I cut a "donut" of chipboard and then glued the wreath on it so I could pop dot the wreath. On one card I also colored another bow and pop dotted it on top of the one on the wreath but I decided that made it too thick for the mail, but the effect was really nice!
Here you can see the colors a little better than you can in the first photo
and also on the video.I wish I knew the name of the stamp I used but it was one I borrowed during Stamp Club and I didn't think to check the name. Next time I will have to see if I can zoom in better *okie thinks she needs to take a video making course*. If you click the picture you can see the detail of the coloring even more.
I did add some glitter to the fruit and some Glossy Accents to the leaves after I got the image colored
and I don't think any of the photos give it justice. For the glittering I used the Sakura Stardust glitter pen in clear. I wanted to give the fruit a little of the sugared look.Here is the video of the coloring process for this image if you are interested in watching. And if you are not interested in watching...well THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME WASTE A FEW HOURS OF MY LIFE! *okie falls out of chair laughin*

Someone throws away a handmade card! How horrible! If you would ever send me a card I would NEVER throw it away!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! The image looks 3d!
I stamped off a few of these myself and haven't colored them yet. Now I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThe wreath you showed me was really pretty and I don't think you had any of the glitter pen on it.
Popping it off the surface of the card probably really makes it!
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave in the Cutting category today [22 Dec 01:00am GMT]. Thanks, Maria

Your video was great! Thanks! I do love this card and I really like how you color the more detailed images like this and your Santa you did...I usually shy away from these kind of stamps...but no more...I know how to color them now! :D) God bless, Pamela
ReplyDeleteWonderful video...absolutely love the card! If you ever find out who makes the stamp and what it's called, please post the info. Also, what embossing folder did you use?
ReplyDeleteI have been slowly (really slowly) getting some Copic Sketch markers. I was wondering if the Pro Markers are similar to the Copic...do they have two different size coloring tips on each marker and are the nibs replaceable, and what is the cost comparison?
Thanks for any info...sorry for all the questions.
