I suppose it can be assumed that a hand made card is like sending a warm greeting...and a sentiment is not always essential. This new image from Karen Lockhart just gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling, hope it has the same effect on you too.
Supplies:
Adirondack Dye Ink Pad, Pitch Black
Copic E00, C1, T5, YR21, RV11, R21, G82, YG95, YG63, YO00, V01
In the Window, Pie Karen Lockhart stamp (new release)
Memory Box 6x6 Cardstock, Brandywine
Martha Stewart Baker's Twine, Solids
other:
Chestnut Roan ink by Clearsnap
Copic color E00 is the main ingredient for this card and does most of the work.
I started by coloring the pie and going over the image multiple times with the same color to give depth to the bottom
I then added dark grey to the top of the pie tin
and the lighter grey color to the bottom. I blended the 2 shades together
Next, I colored the walls, behind the pie purple and the curtains green. I admit that when I first colored this, I thought..."Oh dear, what have I done?"
I didn't like the look, so I decided to soften it up by coloring E00 (cream) over the entire image. I added some grey tones as well, to add more charecter to the shutters
I colored the flowers pink and accented them with a bit of yellow.
I then colored the entire paper with YO00 and added some light grey to the flower box
I chalked the edges of the paper and colored an accent paper with a Copic marker to draw in more of the rustic color.
I also aged the twine, by coloring it to help it coordinate better with the feel of the card.
I matted the panel onto Memory Bx paper and machine sewed around the edges. I punched the paper that I added some color to and embellished with a clear button.
I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial. We appreciate you stopping by the CLASSroom. Have a great day :)
