Lately, I've been working with the different color mediums I have in my creative stash. I've owned my set of Inktense pencils for a while and only used them a handful of times. In an effort to stretch my creative muscles, I pulled these pencils from the drawer and set about using them a bit this past week. The
Mother's Day card from Wednesday's post was also done with these lovely pencils. Let's get to the card details.
I started this card panel by stamping a repeating pattern with the WPlus9 Beautiful Bouquets Mums stamp using VersaFine ink onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock.
I started with the blue background using Sea Blue. I layered in a few lines of color and then brought in clean water, adding more color as needed. You can easily add color to wet areas by taking a wet brush to the tip of the pencil, picking up the pigment and then applying to the paper as needed.
I used all three of the greens in the set, Leaf Green, App;e Green and Teal Green, to create variation in the leaves. Each type of leaf is a combination of two colors. The berries are a blend of Fuchsia and Poppy Red, while the small pink flowers are Fuchsia.
The yellow mums are a base of Sun Yellow with highlights of Tangerine. To create the variegated look I drew lines of the Tangerine on random petals, then I pulled pigment from the Sun Yellow and painted it over top to blend out the lines of already applied color.
Once the panel was completely dry I took a Micron 02 pen and outlined all of the images on the card. This dark outline really made all the colors pop.
To complete the card I die cut the panel with the largest of the Stitched Rectangle dies from Simon Says Stamp, added a bit of Wink of Stella to the flowers and some dots of White Souffle Pen to the berries and flower centers, last, but not least I added the greeting. This greeting is from the Simon Says Birthday Flowers set and was stamped with VersaFine Ink onto white cardstock. I fussy cut it, leaving a thin white border and popped it up with some foam tape.
I hope you enjoy how this card turned out. I've linked to the supplies below. Thanks for stopping by.
