Art Nouveau Flowers Card


I made another digital stamp from printers ornaments. This was also colored with Copics, and the outlines which look like bright yellow in the photo are actually from an extra fine metallic gold PenTouch pen. They really aren't bright yellow.

After coloring the design, I fussy cut around the outside and used pale yellow Pebbles Cream Chalk to shade the white CS on the design. Next, I layered it onto a Spellbinders Decorative Labels One layer made from white CS. The rest of the layers are Grand Labels One. Two are cut from yellow CS, and the background layer is white CS shaded with Memento Bamboo Leaves. I tried shading the yellow layers with Distress Antique Linen, but my reinker didn't work, even though I followed the instructions exactly, and I ended up shading it with a metallic gold ink pad used very lightly.

All the layers were outlined with the gold pen, and everything was mounted onto a card I cut using Grand Labels One. (I always do a regular die cut from one layer and then layer it over the die cut card so it won't be flat where the fold is).

The flower in the center was made by using two white daisy Prima flower parts. I colored them with a lavender Copic marker, then went over them with Interference Violet Pearl Ex paint, and added stamens to it after layering the two together. The pearls on the corners are Liquid Pearls.

  3. Really pretty, Kathi, I like the special touch your liquid pearls add to the card! I bought some at a stamp show last year, and have not tried using them yet. Probably dry out before I get around to using them...smile.
