Hello there, I wanted to make an encouragement type of card for my mum last week. I thought the WPlus9 Unforgettable stamp set would be perfect for it. I just love that sentiment and of course, who can resist those cute elephants?!
I started off by stamping the elephant and the balloon on to a piece of white cardstock. I then stamped the sentiment beside. I made some masks for the elephant and balloon with masking paper, cut these out and placed them over the stamped images. I then masked off the rest of the card panel, leaving strip open. I also cut a few clouds from masking paper also. I wanted straight bottom clouds so I just cut off their bottoms!
I then took my Copic Airbrush system and applied B00 and B000 on to the strip of cardstock that was exposed. I then removed all the masks. The clouds, elephant and balloon were then coloured with Copic Markers. I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base with foam tape.

ReplyDeleteAw that is such a lovely idea creating a encouragement card, it's a really good idea to let that special person know how special they are to you. That air compressor looks good too with the Copics. Delicate and soft colours and such wonderful sentiment. x
