CARD DETAILS

I started working on my card by creating a mask for the boots image; I’m not a fan of masking but it is a wonderful technique that lets you stretch the use of your stamps. I used specialty masking paper today, if you don’t have any you can use a post-it note or even a piece of thin paper and simply temporarily adhere it using low tack tape or removable adhesive.

I stamped image of the boots in Simon’s Intense Black ink, masked it and stamped flamingo making it look like as if he’s wearing these booth. I did practice a few times before I was able to get the perfect placement. I also stamped some additional leaved on the ground next to the boots – this, I feel, helped “ground” them and created the illusion of a horizon line for this simple card.

Next, I used my Copic markers and did some very quick coloring using my usual go-to colors. I don’t have a lot of colors, for I almost always stick to the same combinations. I used:

• YG03, YG17
• Y15, Y19
• RV14, RV13, RV10
• E37

Once my coloring was done I stamped a sentiment that reads “Face Today With Total Confidence“, this message comes from the You Got This stamp set and it comes as a one strip, I wanted it to take 3 lines and not be a one line message, so I cut it carefully with my scissors. I can always piece it back together if I decide to stamp it as intended in the future.

Next, I used my scoring board and added horizontal score lines going 1/2″ apart. I made sure to omit the part where the image and the sentiment was and only did partial scoring. I trimmed this panel to 4 x 5 1/2″, adhered onto an A2 white side folding card base and added pretty pink jewels to embellish it.
