Hi everyone! I’m still having a fun time with the March subscription box creating fun cards to send to my crafty friends! For this week’s card, I pulled out my Ranger Ink Distress Oxides and Copic Markers to do a clean and simple one layer(ish) card. Let me tell you how it came together.
I started by stamping these 3 classic crafty images from the Friends Who Craft Together stamp set side by side. Then I created a mask for each of the images so I could mask them off for the ink blending.
I first laid down a pattern stencil and then a circle mask over that so it would create this spotlight effect. I lined up the pattern stencil so that it ended where the images laid and created some ground for them. Then I removed the pattern stencil and just masked off the top to create the bottom with some more Oxide Inks.
YR15, YR16, YR18
B24, B26, B28
YR23, Y28
C1, C4, C6, C8, 110
Once the ink blending was done, I removed the masks and colored the images with my Copic Markers. I kept it really simple and the colors used are listed above if you are interested. I added some shimmer with a Wink of Stella clear glitter pen as well as some highlights with a Gel Pen.
To add some detail to this clean and simple design, I placed the circle stencil back over the card and used a fine liner in black to add some stitching. A few clear sequins finish it off. I added it to a top folding A2 sized card base in a dark grey and it’s ready to be mailed to yet another crafty friend!
