MASKED EASTER CARD
With Easter being just around the corner, I've started making cards for my grandchildren's baskets! The cute images in today's card are from a stamp set called Springtime Garden (I got it from TAC a few years back, but Red Rubber Designs sells it now). I've listed the basic supplies I used below.
X-Press It Blending Card - 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"
Medium Blue CS - 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" & 4" x 5 1/4"
Lt Orchid CS - 3 3/4" x 5"
A2 Bright Yellow Card (folded - 4 /14" x 5 1/2"
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers:
LV 1 & 2; HB 1 & 2; CT 1, 2 &4; DG 1, 2 & 3; BT 2, 3 &5; TB 1, 2 & 3; TB 1, 2 & 3; IG 1, 2, 3 & 5; BP 2 & 4; PP 2, 3 & 4; TN 2, 3, 4 & 6; GB 6 & 9; Blender.
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad
Adhesive
I started by stamping the Bunny/Sign image with Memento ink on the blending card, then creating a mask for this image out of scrap copy paper. Next, I placed this mask over the stamped image and stamped the Birdhouse image to the left of sign & removed the mask. Then I began coloring with my alcohol markers! Here's a basic guide for my coloring:
For the birdhouse & sign - TNs & GBs Leaves/Grass - DGs & BTs Sky - TBs
Yellow Birds - CTs & GB6 Blue Bird - TBs Bunny - IGs
Purple Flowers - LVs, HBs & CTs Pink Flowers - PPs & BPs Blue Flowers - TBs
After coloring, I attached this to the matting, blue/orchid/blue, as shown, then attached to the front of the card. And finally I stamped the phrases in the sky & on the sign with Black Memento Ink and added the phrase on the inside!
Later this week, I'll be posting a masculine wildlife card & another polished stone card, to name a few!
