When I was setting stamps on my table these two were right next to each other, and I thought.. ohh I like this. I think sometimes we get caught it the "style" of a set like the sentiments in Birthday Bloom is a bit more chalkboardy (not a word until today!) and that may hinder taking out something a bit more elegant and pairing them. I say we give it all a try, so I did and I was very happy with the results. I also threw in some Butterfly Basics to create a little background. (See those little ferns poking out?)
This card was really easy to make. I used only SU inks to color the image with a SU blender pen. Learning to shade with inks and a blender is really not too difficult. I wanted to not color with Copics and show you can get great coloring results with just your ink pads and a blender pen.
On this card I actually began with really light coat of Calypso Coral then brought in Cherry Cobbler. Those are the only colors I used in this coloring. It is was about taking light coats until I could shade the darker coral then finally tipped the edges with Cherry and added that pop. I hope that is not confusing. If it is ask a question. I love questions.
The stamping was straight on a Whisper White Thick cardstock with post-it notes creating the stamp area. (Masking where I wanted the images) Then using a black pen I drew a line creating a clean look. Then stamped the inside and outside sentiments, the Better than Email on the back and then added the Rhinestone Basic Jewels
If you are in need of more instruction on how to blend with Pen and Ink let me know. I am happy to help you!
