Totally Tropical

Happy Saturday!  Today is release day over at Rachel Vass Designs!  There are three brand new sets in the Etsy store.  For my slimline I'm using Totally Tropical.

Shop HERE

I sized it large enough to fill a slimline card panel.   Then I printed it out onto Copic friendly cardstock.  I took a pencil and ruler and drew lines 1/2" wide.  Next I grabbed a T3 Copic and started going over my pencil lines.  


Next I grabbed a whole lot of brightly colored Copics and got to coloring!  


After it was all colored, I went back with a T0 marker and added a light shadow under the bottom edges of some of the elements.


I cut it out with the Trinity Stamps Slimline Stitched Card Panels and Windows set.  I glued it onto a piece of Copic safe paper I colored pink to match.

I couldn't find a piece of patterned paper in my stash that worked so I stamped my own.  I glued the floral/pink panel on top.  I used a Stardust gelly roll pen to add some dot detail.  Then I added glossy accents to the center of the purple and yellow flowers.


I trimmed the sentiment down and added it to a green piece of cardstock I also colored to match.  Foam tape was added to the back and placed on the card.  That's it!  I just love how it turned it.

I do hope you'll head to Rachel's store to take a look at the new sets!

See you next time!

Glorious Geometry

Howdy fellow crafters!  I hope you are having an amazing day!  Today I have a bold and beautiful card to share.  It features the gorgeous Glorious Geometry set from Rachel Vass Designs.  It can be found in her Etsy shop right HERE.

Let's check out my card!


I really was able to make the blooms the very center attention by coloring everything EXCEPT the blooms!  It's a really neat technique.  Also, don't be afraid to go BIG!  That's one of the many great things about digital stamps.  Make them whatever size fits your creativity!

I totally went outside my color comfort zone with this split complementary combination.  Thank you color wheel!  I colored everything using Copic markers.  The colors I used were Y32, Y35, Y38, YG07, YG05, YG01, YG11, V09, V17, V15 and T10.

I added a bit of glossy accents to all of the flower centers and called it done.  I added the panel to a black card base to really make it pop.  I may be in love with this card...




Anywho, thanks SO much for stopping by!  Oh, don't forget to check out the Rachel Vass Designs store today!

Toodles!

Birthday Dogs

Welcome back to my crafty corner!  Today I'm playing 2 Cute Ink's June Patreon exclusive digi stamps.  They are called Birthday Dogs and boy are they cute!  You can find out all of the details on how to join and get access to these cuties HERE.

Here are the two cards I created!





My backgrounds are all gel prints that I created.  I used them as the inspiration for the colors I used on my cards.  I wanted to show you can have lots of color and details on your cards without actually doing a lot of coloring.

I really love the versatility that digital stamps give you.  Make them big.  Make them small.  Do whatever works for you!

Come join the cutest digitial stamp club ever!  If you want to see what the June exclusive set looks like, you can go HERE.  And the direct link to the Patreon page is HERE.


Have a craft-tastic day!
