Bloom Wildly

Oh, hi!  How's the weather where you are?  It's sort of starting to cool off here . . . Mid to Low 90s.  I am so ready for Fall.  so.very.ready.  And with Fall on my mind, I chose a Fall-ish color palette for this card.  I do love teal, orange and yellow together.

Obviously that's a whole lotta Copic coloring going on. . . but you guys, when a fabulous company offers a free digital stamp and another fabulous company offers a free class to learn how to color that digital stamp . . . well, you jump on that!

I have learned so much good stuff in this class offered by Kit & Clowder!  And the Kindness is the Way digital stamp set by Power Poppy is beautiful.  BEAUTIFUL!

I totally encourage you to check it out. . . did I mention that it's free?  As in, Zero Dollars.

Okay . . . on to the card.  I printed out the daisy background onto Neenah Solar White card stock.  I've always been afraid of digital stamps.  But you know what? This was super easy to download and you can even re-size the images.  By the way . . . there are a couple of different images in this digital set.

I colored (for days and days) using Copic Markers and when I was all done, I thought, "Well now. . . what am I going to do for a sentiment?? I don't want to totally cover up all that work."  Lucky for me, I had just watched a video by Jennifer McGuire where she used a frame with vellum so the background would be muted, but not covered up.  Perfect.

So, I cut three frames using the Large Classic Squares and Small Classic Squares Nestabilities dies from Spellbinders.  I stacked the frames just to give it a bit of dimension.

Then I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the Pure Prairie Spirit stamp set onto Vellum using VersaMark ink and White Embossing Powder.  I used the larger square die to cut the vellum so it would fit behind the frame perfectly.

Copics used: YR12, YR14, YR18, B00, B53, B57, Y08, Y11, Y13, Y15,
E23, E37, E29, E79, BG0000

I did use foam tape behind the frame for some extra lift.  Here's a hint . . . cut the foam tape in thin strips and only adhered it to the card stock frame.  I also used foam tape on the daisy panel. . . because, you know me. . . I love my foam tape!

Finally, I adhered that to a dark teal panel and then onto a white card base.  And there ya have it. . .

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
