For my card, I decided to keep it in the garden....
I used Penny Black stamps Magnolia Rhapsody 40-535, and Special Thoughts 30-338. I also used a Penny Black script stamp and swirl stamp for my background.
I used Arteza real brush pens to color my magnolia. Using my Misti, I added color to one blossom at at time, stamping it, then moved to the next. When dry, I went back with darker shades, adding them individually to each flower. Then I repeated this technique with the leaves and the branches. I added the lightest color, then went back in with the shading colors.

For the 'Friend,' I inked only the one word from the verse in the special thoughts set. I stamped it onto the same watercolor paper, using my Misti so that I could stamp it numerous times to get a clear image on the textured base. I fussy-cut it, then added it to my card with foam tape.
Some twine and Pretty Pink Posh clear droplets finish my card tonight.

Gorgeous! So you masked just the flower, correct, not the branches.
ReplyDeleteHi, I read your post again, how did you stop the script stamp from going on the flower itself? Thank you
ReplyDeleteHi Deborah Anne - As far as masking, the only thing I masked is the rectangle around the image. I did not mask the flowers, leaves, or stem. I just sponged my background color around it, as it didn't matter if some of it got on the image because the color was close. For the script, I just used a mini ink pad to ink the script stamp, but only inked it in small areas, not the full stamp, then stamped it carefully where I wanted it. I didn't mind if some of it got on the flowers (and it did a little if you look closely). Hope this answers your question. Here's a link to a video by Jill Foster that shows how to do this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntMgX4m19pk
