hi it's Therese from Lostinpaper and I am so excited to be here as guest
designer with Spellbinders! they sent me a collection of stamps created by
Stephanie Low and the collection is called just add color and they are
beautiful I don't know I think that Spellbinders- might know something about me
and my love for flowers what do you think? Aren't they beautiful?
So today I'm going to be making a set of gift cards so I started by choosing the
stamps that I wanted to use and these are red rubber cling stamps so you can
use them with your blocks or you can use them with your MISTI tool and I stamped out
a stack of these and because they're red rubber they stamp beautifully and I used
a Copic friendly ink because I thought it would be fun to do some coloring
today and I did cover this whole sheet of stamps and I had a blast I did two
different styles of coloring today so I'm going to share a couple of flowers
and some leaves with you just to show you the process but I won't share them
all because we would be here all day, like I was, but it's fun I gotta say I
had so much fun. I don't always follow the rules when it comes to using my
Copic color families together I like to sort of mix them up sometimes I like the
colors that it gives me it does change the the tone of the colors so you can
get a whole different look and I don't have every Copic color
so I like to use what I have rather than feel like I need to go out and buy every
Copic color so I shaded two of the RV pinks I used the darker one on the inner
portion of the petal and then shaded it out with the lighter one as you normally
would do but I've come in with the BV00 to add the shadowing and I think
that the purple worked really well but to me it made it too purpley so I will
show you how I fix that in just a minute so because I'm
stamping and coloring for a set of cards I find that when I'm doing this I do
like to actually kind of make everything matchy matchy so it looks similar and
what I can do then is actually change things up so that they look like they
are meant to be together and coordinate but I don't get bored because if I was
making the same card over and over I would be so bored, and I wouldn't get
to use all of these beautiful flowers so I look at coloring a big sheet of
flowers like this as 'Copic coloring practice' and fun of course! alright so
I'm coming in with the BV again and I'm looking at it thinking it just does look
a bit too purple for my liking so what I'm doing here is I've actually bought
back in the RV 13 which is the darker RV color that I was using and just blending
that straight over top of the purple and what that does is it actually makes the
color back to a pink tone again and I think that worked perfectly so the
leaves that did make a nice bright green and this is probably my favorite lime
green color combo with the YG family they are a really pretty group of greens
and I use them all the time I have the refills that's how much I use them so
this is my second style of coloring and I'm going for more of a messy look which
is almost getting kind of a watercolor look using the Copic markers I'm trying
not to think too much about it I am coming in with my lighter color first
that's RV02 and actually just smooshing some color but focusing it on
the inside portion of the petals and making sure to leave some of the white
space on some of the petals and then I'm doing the same with the RV13 I'm coming
back in with that again and adding less this time less of the dark color
Now this is a really really simple way to color with copics and anyone can do
it so if you don't have confidence with all the shading and mixing of colors
this is a really great technique to try and it's a good way to learn your colors
and what they look like together as well so these are the leaves that I'm going
to coordinate with the messy flowers so I have colored them in a similar fashion
I have kept them almost watercolor look and leaving some white space on those as
well most of them are going to be hidden because I'm going to be creating a
wreath with this particular set of flowers and I thought I'd share just one
more flower with you because I did come in with my orange, it's orange and pink
combo it's my all-time favorite combo and today I coordinated it with gray as
well so I think I've got a new favorite combo bright orange hot pink and gray it
makes me happy. so these flowers I sort of did a combination between like the
perfect blend and the messy look and I think after I do my base colors what I
like to do sometimes it's come in with another color and actually add like a
final layer of shading and it just has to be slightly darker than the previous
colors that I've colored like on this orange flower I came in with the YR24
at the end and I found just by leaving a few streaks in the actual coloring it
gives it a more natural look so I'm going to start working on the panels
that are sitting on the front of my cards I have them all cut just slightly
smaller than the A2 card base and I'm going to cut the first three with the
Nestabilities circles and the next three I'm going to be doing some tone on
tone stamping for the backgrounds so these three pieces of gray cardstock
I'm stamping with the gray ink I am actually going to coordinate the stamps
that come in the sets together so the floral stamp that I coordinate with the
background stamp actually come in the same sets so this is the mandala
blossoms stamp and it has a little beautiful little bouquet that I curl it
up and you'll see that when I put that on put all the cards together at the end
this second set is the Peonies Blossoms set which is also really pretty and I
think that this makes a lovely tone on tone background and then when you add
the bouquets to it it just brings it to life so when I'm stamping a background I
like to make sure that I stamped some of the images of the edges of the card if
I'm using two different sized stamps I usually use my larger stamps first and I
also make sure that I rotate the stamp so it's at different orientations and
these leaves they're from the botanical feather set which has a bouquet a
feather and quite a few different leaves to choose from now all of the
backgrounds I did splatter some white ink spray I don't actually spray the ink
I disconnect the spray nozzle out of the bottle and
just tap it over top and then I set it aside to dry because it takes ages
All the sentiments come from the same stamp set which is the thanks expressions it's
actually a die and stamp set, it's awesome but it has all this great little
sentiments in it and so I've used that on all of the cards I stamped some in
black ink and I embossed some in white and I also embossed some for the gray
card bases on a darker gray and embossed those in white as well so the
trick here is what I do stamp out the sentiment in embossing ink
add my embossing powder and then I'll stamp again and once I've got them all
stamped just hit them with the heat tool all at
the same time just have to be careful not to touch the powder when you're
stamping I did prep it with the powder tool so I had to remove that powder I do
wait for the stamp embossing powder to cool down a
little bit before I do that and then I just cut my little sentiments into
strips now all of the panels I've popped up with some fun foam today and I used
some strong adhesive tape to do that with and then all of my cards are top
fold cards so that they do coordinate as a set of gift cards and all the colors
coordinate there's lots of dimension in all of these, I love dimension I also
do like to do fairly clean and simple cards but if I'm going to have something
I think by adding some dimension and some foam squares it really gives the
cards some of that wow factor I think these three gray ones turned out really
pretty actually I liked them all the flowers are what makes it! This is the
mandala blossoms it's a really pretty set and this particular flower when I
fussy cut it out I fussy cut right up to the edges I did a bit of both on these
cards some of the flowers and leaves I fussy cut leaving a white border others
I cut them straight up to the edge there is no rhyme or reason into why I did
what with what it was what I felt like
so each card is similar but the layout is
slightly different you could actually keep the same layout for all of the
designs and just change up the flower bouquets there's so many options
and for the final gray design I actually added two separate flowers here and
popped my sentiment overtop of the flowers I know that freaks some people
out but I really like my sentiment to sit on top and you can still see the
flowers like I said lots of dimension
so now it's time to work on the circle window cards I did actually come in and
splatter some extra gray cardstock with some of the white ink spray and I'm
gonna attach that directly to the front of my top fold card just using some tape
runner and I have popped this panel up on some foam foam with some strong
adhesive but it's hard to see because the fun foam is exactly the same color
as the card stock but I promise you it's there now these beautiful flowers are
from the large peonies stamp set and there's quite a few peonies in this
release and I hope to have another card coming up very soon to share with you
using the peonies bundle it's called which is another beautiful set but to
consider layering one of the flowers behind the window but changed my mind
right this one's from the loves me loves me not and probably the most clean and
simple card design that I make today and I did actually add just a white
sentiment and a white window I just thought it would be too much to have the
colored cardstock on the front of this one and I fussy cut that one out leaving
the white border I thought it would be easier and here's my final card and I
decided to create a wreath and that's why I cut the circle a little bit lower
on this panel I'm using some tape runner again just to adhere all the flowers and
leaves although I actually the final... I'm lying, all right you got me
I actually popped up for the flowers just with some 1mm thick, a
really thin foam tape but I think this card turned out beautiful too
I hope that you've been inspired to make a set of floral gift cards today and I'd
like to say thank you to Spellbinders for letting me play with this collection
from Stephanie Low 'Just Add Color' and I did, lots of it, pink and orange and gray
