This is a set that I've admired for a long time, and finally got last week. Isn't this image just the sweetest? It's so easy and so much fun to colour. I love large images like this, they make simple but striking cards. Here's the easy step by step:Stamp the image in Stazon on Whisper White. Colour using Watercolour Wonder Crayons and blend with a water brush or blender pen. This would look good in so many colours, I used Bashful and Brocade Blue for her dress.
Create score lines using your paper trimmer and a bone folder. Just turn your card stock over and score a line by running the bone folder down the cutting channel of your trimmer. Simple, embossed lines!
Stamp the sentiment using Stazon again, I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to help with placement.
Add three Brocade Blue brads and a Brocade Blue wide grosgrain ribbon before adhering the layer to a Brocade Blue card base - that's it, you're done!
This card honestly took me about 12 minutes from start to finish. Sometimes simplicity is best!
Hope you're having a great week!

This is very pretty, Sarah! I love all the white space around the image. It let's you focus on the main image. Beatrice

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card! It is simple but very effective, love this style. I like the scored borders too!
ReplyDeleteVery nice card, thanks for the hint in regard to the score line, I had seen this before but thought there must be some tool to do this. I will have to try this soon.
ReplyDeleteSarah your card is crisp and clean looking and yet soft with the water colouring. You have a wonderful water colouring technique; Love it.
