I have been asked many times about my method for designing cards. No, I don't pick my papers first then color the image.

I usually color images way ahead of time then pick an image that I wish to use, and come up with a design with the papers that match. Todays card is a perfect example. I colored it a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday I made the card. The design is just made up as I go. Here is todays card.


"Happy Spring"


The weather has been great here in Augusta, GA. Temperatures have been in the high 70degrees to the mid 80s. So I was thinking spring flowers. The image I selected is a "Just-Rite" oval stamp. I colored it with Copic markers in the following colors;

  • Leaves; YG05, YG09
  • Flowers; Y06, Y08,Y17
  • Background Grounding; BG10

The main body of the card is a dark brown. Background paper is from a pack from "DCWV" called "Pocket full of Posies" The image was cut out with a Spellbinder die and matted. The side mats at the edge of the card were once again cut with a Spellbinder die matted then cut in half.

The flowers are from the "Recollections" series from "Michaels". The butterflies were cut using a "Embosslits" that I got from "Stamp'n Up". Although you can't see it in the photo, I sprayed the butterflies with some "Tattered Angels" Glimmer Mist in Gold. Adds a nice touch. The butterflies were popped up.

I think the card reflects a very Spring feeling.

Hope you enjoy the card. Remember you comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!
