Life in Moments

Happy Wednesday!!!

Today's card is a simple, standard size card measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", that i made using the Secret Garden stamp set along with the coordinating Framelit set, yup... you guessed it... named Secret Garden:)

My card base is made of Old Olive card stock which i let serve as a boarder too showcasing my Flower District DSP (which i just LOVE).  The background is "busy" so i wanted my vocal point of my card, my flowers, to really stand out.  So after i cut them out using my framelits i puffed them up on Dimensionals and highlighted them with a piece of Elegant Eggplant card stock and topped that with some of my 5/8" Organza Ribbon.

To color in my flowers, i used 3 main colors of Copic in the Purple family.  Those colors are BV13, BV02, and BV00.  For the center of my flowers I also used some Copic, mixing 2 colors together... R24 and Y08 (a red and a yellow) to acquire the "orange" color that i wanted. As always, a helpful tip when coloring with Copic... you want to make sure that you stamp your main image that you are coloring with Memento Ink (any color, that's up to you).  I have found that with the Memento, the Copic doesn't "run" outside the lines like it tends to do with our SU! Ink as well as others:(
