I'm back today with TWO very different cards for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios - these cards were created with Rachelle's beautiful digital stamps and today's image is called Girl Whale. Purchase the image, it arrives by email shortly afterwards, print it off on your home printer on the cardstock of your choice and get creating! My first card embraces my favoured pastels.
As I said above I printed the image provided to me on Copic friendly cardstock. I carefully selected some soft pastel Copic markers to colour the image but went with a strong pop of orange for the girl's dress so that she stood out.
To finish out the card I first die cut a white frame and then a smaller toning aqua frame which I layered on top. The whole frame was backed with foam tape and applied to the feature panel. The panel was glued to a sturdy cardstock card base. I added a little glitter to the stars and stamped the sentiment and a few sparkling clear sequins completed the scene.
My second card goes deep! I printed the image and printed it again on masking paper. I fussy cut the masking paper image so that I could ink blend above and below the horizon, working to create a bright focal point. I then removed the mask and Copic coloured the main image and highlighted a few points with a white gel pen.
I stamped the sentiment from Mama Elephant Wish Upon A Star stamp set with Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white. I framed out the scene with a skinny black die cut frame popped up on foam tape and then added the 4 point stars with more of the white gel pen and a a few 4 point star holographic embellishments so that this one really glinted when it was handled .... and it does! The decorative panel was glued to a black cardstock base for the drama and when I used darker cardstock bases I always include a nice quality white insert panel inside which I trim to be a little smaller than the A2 size.
Thank you for coming by today, I hope you treat yourself to some digis by Rachelle - happy crafting!
