Zen Garden - Four Ways

Oh, hi! I am loving the Zen Garden stamp by Whimsy Stamps! There are so many different ways it can be used!

For this card, I stamped the image and left it black and white and decided to add a colorful background with my Copic markers:

After I had the background colored, I stamped and embossed a sentiment from the Mini Everyday Sentiment set and used my white gel pen to add a few dots on either side of the sentiment.

Copics used: R22, YR02, Y21, G02, BG13, BV13, Colorless Blender

For my next card, I only stamped the blooms on the outer edge of a piece of card stock and embossed them with white embossing powder. Then I did a bit of easy watercoloring with my water brushes.

After the panel was dry, I ran it through my Gemini, Jr. with a Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it to a piece of pink card stock cut slightly larger, and then adhered that to the front of my card base. Then, I adhered the  die-cut birthday word and die-cut shadow to the front. I also stamped and embossed the word "wishes" from the Your Birthday stamp set and fussy cut it.

Waterbrushes used: Cadmium Orange, Bumble Bee Yellow, Lemon Yellow, Teal, Turtle Green, Rouge Pink, Bubble Gum Pink

For my third card, I wanted to use the new Slimline Pocket Die, so after I stamped and colored the Zen Garden stamp, I fussy cut the flowers and a few leaves and arranged them on the pocket.

For the pocket, after I die-cut it from dark blue cardstock, I used my white gel pen to accentuate the stitching detail around the edge.

I cut a piece of patterned paper from the Eggstra Bunnies paper pack just slightly smaller than my card base and adhered it to the front of my card. Then I adhered the pocket to the front of my card.

Copics used:

Sunflower - Y19, Y17, Y08, Y11, YR24, E49, E47, E37, E35, E34, YG00
Pink Flower - R22, R20, Y08, Y13
Teal Flower - BG13, G02, BG10
Leaves - YG17, YG03, YG01

And finally. . .for my last card, I did a bit of simple masking by stamping the super cute Gnome from the Gnome Gardeners stamp set, masked him with a piece of masking paper and then stamped the Zen Garden over it.



Then I colored it up with my Copics, ran it through by die-cut machine with a Wonky Stitched Rectangle die and adhered it to a top folding notecard.
