Loads of Love Spring Card

2/27/2016

3 Comments

 
I have been thinking about a spring like card for awhile. I guess I can't wait for Spring to come. Think of this as a universal card that whoever receive this will also get a feel of Spring~
這次選擇綠色當背景,可以感受到春天一整片綠油油的草地,不時可以看到一叢一叢的小花努力的綻放著。現在想想最後一次躺在草地上是N年前了,下次有機會一定去享受一下大地之愛~
Picture
~~The Detail~~
Picture
I used Tim Holtz Botanical Sketch stamp, VersaMark watermark stamp pad and white embossing powder to create the background. I use Ranger white super fine detail embossing powder which is needed for such detailed fine line stamps. I will explain more in a different post. You will be able to see the comparison.
簡單又效果極佳的方法~草皮章,浮水印台加燙凸粉。燙凸粉用的是Ranger極細凸粉,它的細度較適合用在細節多的印章上,在下一篇我會做個燙凸粉普通和極細的比較~
Picture
Then using distress ink mowed lawn and blending tool to blend hack out of it. At some point I use the ink pad to simply smear the entire cardstock. :)
用復古印台mowed lawn非常漂亮的綠色,塗満整張紙,真的是死命的塗,顏色越深越好。這樣才可以進入下一個步驟 lifting technique。
Picture
When it is done, I use, lifting technique, just few drops of water to take out some of the color out. I forgot to take a close shot but you can see the fern at the left bottom corner that the color is lighter after few drops of water and before I add different color on it.
用水彩筆沾水滴在花瓣上,綠色就漸漸的變淺,水越多顏色越淺,左邊綠色的葉子是變淺之後未上其他色之前。
Picture
Here I use distress ink picked raspberry ( it turns to lavender color. Nice!)and blueprint sketch for the look.
紫色是用復古印台 pickled raspberry , 藍色是blueprint sketch。上越多顔色越深~
Picture
Here again using distress ink blueprint sketch but decided to use lifting technique again to lighten up the blue.
Picture
Well green leaves are going to blend into the background so I decide to use some bling bling sunflower sparkle perfect pearls with couple drops of water. 葉子的部分最後決定用Sunflower sparkle 金質粉。讓卡片也有亮亮的感覺~
Picture
I only want to have few color showing on the card since it is quite busy already. It turns out looking great!
Picture
Time to work on the sentiment~ I choose Unity Stamp Loads of love for this card. In addition, I gently brush around the edge using distress ink tea dye then spritz some perfect pearls water to get that shimmer look.
Picture
I got this twine from a second hand store was going to use for book binding but color is perfect for it. I had learned a trick from YouTube to coat it with mod podge or multi medium first, it is actually must earlier to form the circle that I wanted.
有時候線或麻繩很不受控制,可以先整條塗上一些mod podge或其他種類的膠,再塑形比較容易。
Picture
The sentiment is a bit small when I lay it on the card and I don't want to add a second layer because it will block out more background so a few loops of wire or twine will help with the illusion.
Picture
Here is the finishing piece! Hope you enjoy and thank you for visiting my blog~
