Finally Friday and time for another lily pad cards color challenge. Here are the colors you have to use.
Keep in mind, that this is a palette to get you inspired. There is no need to follow the exact colors… and you can add others as long as you use those. So here is the card I made using one of the digital stamps by our wonderful sponsor this week: “A day for daisies“.
Here is my card
I have added a second set of wings and some extra leaves for dimension. Here is a closer look:
Now if you are wondering how I did this card here are some photos that will walk you through the whole process.
How-to:
First I print the image more than once and color parts of it with copic markers. I always use my copics for quick coloring:
Then I use my scissors to cut out the main image and some extra parts. Yes, I love cutting…
and I glue everything together, making sure that leaves and wings are popping out:
And now I am ready to make my night sky. Before I started inking I trace lightly with a pencil around the area where I am going to stick the fairy. Not sure if you can see the pencil marks in the second photo:
and now I am ready to use my distress inks:
For the night sky I use “broken china” in the whole paper, “faded jeans” around the pencil traced area and “chipped sapphire” in the outer edges:
And now I am ready to use 3d foam adhesive and stick the little fairy on that sky
Here is a quick way to make the moon with you circle punch. I am inking a piece of scrap paper with “scattered straw”. Then I punch out a circle. I am putting the circle back in the punch and punch again:
Here is the finished card once more. I used gems for the stars.
If you read this post so far, you are a hero! LOL! I had so much fun playing around and inking my fingers to make this sky. Hope you enjoyed this photo-tutorial!
