Flourishes posted a challenge last week called Kids Play. You were to create a card inspired by child’s play. Since I wanted to use flowers, I figure I could be inspired by “Ring Around the Roses”. I stamped the Spring Bouquet with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers (R30, R32, R35 (Peony), R01, R02, R14 (Sweet Peas), BV02, BV04, BV13 (Lilacs), B21, B23 (blue flowers), G21, G24, YG67 (leaves), Y15, Y0000 (glow) ). The image was cut out with Petite Oval Nestabilities and layered on a piece of Black cardstock cut with the Scalloped Edge Frame from Spellbinders.
Because of the size of the main image, the card base was made a bit bigger. It was created out of a 4 3/4″ x 12″ piece of Core’dinations Cardstock folded in half. A 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Oh La La My Mind’s Eye paper was stitched to 4 3/8″ x 5 5/8″ piece of Wshiper White cardstock. White Silk Ribbon from May Arts was tied around the upper half of the layers before they were adhered to the card base with dimensionals.
The sentiments is also from Spring Bouquet. It was stamped on Neenah Solar White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut and embossed with Spellbinders Double Ended Tags. Yellow Kaisercraft Pearls finish off the card front.
As always the inside of the card is super simple. I just can’t leave it completely blank. It looks so “naked” to me. The punch used on the black cardstock is from Stampin’ Up!. The My Mind’s Eye paper strip measures 1 1/2″ x 4 3/8″.
As you can tell from my latest posts I really enjoy playing with my Copic Markers. I will be coloring in the Dick Blick Store in Columbus the coming Sunday (08/15th) from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. If you live close by, I would love for you to come by and hang out with me! I am very excited Marianne asked me to demo for customers in the store. How cool is that!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
Hugs and smiles
