Happy New Year!

Oh, hi!  Happy New Year to you!  Welp, here we are five days into the new year, and I have a card and video for you.

I've had my sights set on the Hello Lovely stamp set for quite some time now.  No surprise there. . . it's a huge floral spray and I was chomping at the bit to color it up.  But, I didn't want to overwhelm myself, so I just stamped a portion of it in the bottom left corner on to a piece of 80# Neenah Solar White card stock using Extreme Black Hybrid ink.

I also really pushed my own boundaries by using purples and yellows.  I tend to struggle with these colors, for whatever reason.  Do you have particular colors that you struggle with?

Oh, and I struggle with leaves, too.  But I finally figured out a way to make it a bit easier for me, which I share in the video:

After I was done with the coloring, I added a few details with a white gel pen.  Then, I trimmed the panel down a bit and used my Stamp Platform to stamp the sentiment using VersaFine Onyx Black ink.

I die cut a piece of purple card stock using my A2 Card Frames and from there, just put the card together.  I used a tape runner to adhere the stamped panel to the purple frame and then used foam tape to adhere that to the front of the card.

Here are the Copics I used:

Purple flower - BV08, BV02, BV01, BV0000
Yellow flowers - YR24, Y35, Y32, Y23
Pink flowers - YR02, YR00
Leaves - YG67, YG25, YG21

Thanks for stopping by today!
