Hi everyone! It's Jenny here, so excited to be back here on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog after what seems like forever! There's no place like home though right?!
Today I have two floral lovelies for you featuring the same Copic color combo, but a different look. The stamps I'm featuring today are Hero Arts Togetherness Flower Bouquet and Pinkfresh Studio Just Because.
If you're interested in the Copic colors I used, I've included a photo below! I used these on both of my cards. I stamped them both in Nuvo Hybrid Ink in Black Shadow which is my FAVORITE ink for Copic Coloring. I have tried lots of different types and this one stamps very blackly, sharply, and I can color almost immediately without any smearing. I also use Xpress-It Blending Card. I have tried other paper types but I always end up with bleeding outside of my stamped images.
For my first card, I colored in the main bouquet image and then trimmed it out, leaving a border (there is a co-ordinating die available if you don't love fussy cutting). I decided to grab some patterned paper that was similar in color to the image itself, this is the Altenew Enchanting Washes paper pad.
To add some foliage in the background, I heat embossed another flower image in the background using WOW! Embossing Rose Glintz, just large enough to have some leaves peeping out around the edges in a tone on tone look - I used an image from Gina K.
To frame my image, I die cut the PinkFresh Studio Pretty Frames 2 from white cardstock, and popped one of the frames up. between the image and the patterned paper. To finish, I heat embossed in WOW! Embossing Opaque Bright White a sentiment from the stamp set onto black cardstock and trimmed it out. I also snipped the corners to match the frame. As a finishing touch I added some Phoenix sequins by Catherine Pooler, some Honeybee Stamps gems, and some Nuvo Jewel Drops in Rosewater.
My next card uses several of the. same supplies. I stamped and colored the image from the Pinkfresh Studio stamp set as before. I actually stamped it twice using my MISTI to create a frame. I also used the black ink to stamp the sentiment prior to coloring. The sub-sentiment is stamped in Coral Berry ink from Altenew which is a perfect match for some of the Copic colors I used.
To finish the card, I outlined the florals with grey Copic to give the illusion of a shadow and dimension. I then went crazy with embellishments using the same ones as before.
Hope you like the cards, and that I managed to inspire you!
