Spring Tulip

It’s time for a new challenge at Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog and this week we’d like you to use….

Washi Tape or Faux Washi Tape on your creations.

I have chosen to create a spring themed card using the ‘Spring Tulip’ image from The Doodle Garden Digis.

Here’s what I came up with.

I have printed the image onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloured with my Copic Markers. I’ve then trimmed my image and covered the edges in Washi Tape to create a frame (or faux layer). I have done this to a larger piece of plain cardstock which is layered onto my main card. I’ve then added some papers from My Mind’s Eye from their Collectable ‘Notable’ pad. Layered on my main image and added some bling. I’ve stamped a sentiment from Wild Rose Studio’s ‘Circle Greetings’ set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto some X-Press It Blending Card, this is then cut it and layered with a mixture of Small & Large Classic & Scallop Nestabilities dies.

Here’s a closer look at my image.

Now for my creation for this week.

I’ve used the gorgeous Daisy & Basset from ‘Little Darlings’ Candibean Collection for my card today. This has been teamed with some lovely bright paper from Doodlebug Design inc. My image has been cut out using the Classic & Scallop Square Nestabilities. I’ve edged my main card using a Martha Stewart ‘Around the Page’ Punch set called Cherry Blossom. I thought it matched the paper nicely. I’ve added a few La La Land Dies – Flag Banner & Stitched Tabs. Some bling and stickles finish off my card.

My image was stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with Copic Markers.

The colours I’ve used are: Skin – E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20; Hair – E57, E55, E53, E51, E50; Clothes – YR16, YR15, YR11, YR00; Shoes & Hair Ties – YG17, YG03, YG11; Dog – E47, E44, E43, E42, E40, C9, C7, C0; Ground – N2, N0.

Here’s a close up of the image.

..and another view hopefully showing some of the sparkle.

The paper I’ve used has sparkle over a lot of the flowers. Hopefully you can see the light reflecting off them and I’ve also added sparkle to the shoes & hair ties.

Your next stop for the hop is Lydia.
