This is one of the easiest cards I have made. The most effort
was embossing the stamped image rather than just stamp. Of course
I never do things by halves so I embossed in white, silver and gold
and then stamp in black on watercolour paper and Copic friendly
paper so plenty more to come.
Here I cut the panel the same size as the front of the card. Stamped and
white embossed the flower panel from Stamplorations . I then coloured with
zigs, one dark pink pulling the colour out with a very light pink. No water.
A little bit of yellow/brown in the centres.
I've gone blank on the brand for the 'hello' die (I am in the process of putting
a copy of them all into a folder with the brand name but got sidetracked onto
another project sorry. I decided to add some colour to the die cut as I have seen done
a few times with watercolour and coloured embossing. I added my colour
with Copics just picking a pale pink and darker pink and blending to white.
A few enamel dots to finish it off. I attached the vellum by just adding some double sided
dots of tape where the flower centres are so it doesn't show through.
I love how it turned out and cant wait to try some other colours. the Zigs work so
well on the front of the panel- as long as minimal water is used so the vellum doesn't warp.
Challenges:

Gorgeous card, Aileen! Love the embossed framed zinnias in pink -- so happy to see this in the STAMP gallery. (FYI - you could also link this up in the CAS Card Challenge over there -- it's anything CAS card goes with the optional color twist of purple.) Congratulations too on your challenge! I must have been hiding under a rock because this is the first I've heard of it. Bummed I missed joining the first challenge but fully intend to play in your second! Hope you're having a wonderful week!
Oh what a beautiful card! That stamp is perfect with the embossing and with the different shades of pink, especially the half tone sentiment. I love the font on that. It reminds me of my Hero Arts one, but I think it might be Altenew??? I could be so wrong! Xx
Gorgeous. Fabulous colouring.
Beautiful CAS design! Thanks for sharing with us at 613 Avenue Create!
