“Touch of White” Tulip Floral Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I had previously done a set of floral cards using a “”Touch of Gold” (which I will link down below), so I thought I would call today’s card a “Touch of White” for the Art Impressions current blog “Highlights” Challenge. This challenges us to use a white gel pen or white paint to add highlights to your projects.

I thought I would take the white highlights theme to a new level by adding touches of white by not only using the gel pen but by adding white touches in several other ways. We will create a texture white brick background, add some white embossed tulips, add white speckles to the background, add some white ink around the edges of the card panel, and add some pretty white hearts! Lots of different ways to brighten up or highlight your cards!

Let’s start by stamping our images using the Ai Floral Long Stem Bouquet Set (5918) and the Ai Glass Containers Set (5921) and the Ai Easter Bunny Puppet Set (5869). Now we can color these using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lt Pink, Peach Pink, Bright Yellow, Orange, Sea Green, Persian Green, May Green, Green, English Lavender, Purplish Gray, Lt Gray.

Once the coloring is done let’s add some highlights with our white gel pen to the flowers, container and bow.

Next, we can build the background for the flower arrangement by using a brickwork embossing folder and some white cardstock. We will ink the embossing folder in gray to give it a more realistic look. We will also use another embossing folder to create a little wood shelf for our arrangement to sit on. We can color this using some brown inks and then cut it down to size.

Let’s go ahead and assemble the arrangement onto some black cardstock, leaving a small border of black all the way around.

Now for the larger background, we will begin by stamping and embossing a pretty tulip border in white ink and white embossing powder, using the Ai My Trust Set (5937). Let’s use this same set to stamp the little speckled stamp (one of my new favorite go-to stamps) and stamp the kraft colored cardstock with all of the colors used in the flower arrangement and also a pop of white ink!

Let’s assemble onto a white card base and add a few pretty white hearts! I hope this card inspires you to add some white highlights onto your cards in a variety of fun ways!

Direct-To-Paper Monochromatic Shaker Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today let’s create a pretty monochromatic card in yellows and oranges! For some additional fun, we will add a cute little shaker element!

We will start by stamping the cute little bunny in this pretty flower. We can quickly color this image using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lt Pink, Lt Gray, Yellow, Orange, Bright Yellow, May Green, Green.

Next, let’s create the background for our card using the Ai Nested Rectangle Dies (5724). Once this panel is die-cut we will do a fun and simple direct-to-paper technique using some beautiful pigments ink pads in yellows and oranges. This technique is exactly how it is named “direct-to-paper” which is where we will apply the ink directly to the paper from the ink pad. Just rub the colors onto the paper…I like to go light to dark…but any way you like is fine! I will show you exactly what I mean in today’s video! Each time you do this you will get a different result which is really the fun in this technique!

Now we will die-cut the scalloped rectangle frame using the Ai Journal Rectangle Frames (5591). We will die-cut it once from some orange cardstock and another time in white. Let’s also stamp the sentiment that says “Some Bunny Loves You” using the same stamp set onto the orange frame.

Now we can cut a piece of clear acetate to fit behind the frame and glue the orange frame, acetate and white frame together. Let’s add some 1/8″ foam strips behind this frame so that we can place our pretty shaker elements inside. It’s fun to glue a few of these elements on the inside of the shaker so that when it sits upright you still have a few elements up at the top of the shaker.

Let’s assemble the top layers and add some pretty yellow and white twine just below the frame for some added interest.

Now we can use some 3D Foam Tape to add all of this layering to the front of our white card base! And as a final touch, let’s add some little hearts around the frame and some glossy yellow “Pops of Color” along the scalloped edge and around the hearts!

I hope you got inspired to try this fun monochromatic and direct-to-paper technique!

Easy Paper Layering Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

https://youtu.be/9ixo16yj_70

Today we will be creating a pretty layered card in purples and teal greens! This card will actually have 5 paper layers and one “faux” layer which we will create using an easy masking technique!

First, let’s stamp all of the florals and leaves from the Ai My Trust Set (5937) and color them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lt Pink, Pale Violet, Violet, Ice Blue, Aquamarine Blue, Persian Green, Scarlet Red, Lt Brown, Blue Gray. Once the coloring is done, we will simply do some fussy cutting, leaving a little bit of a white border all around the edges.

The white card base will be a standard A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″). Then we will add a layer of purple polka dot paper, another layer of white cardstock, a layer of plaid paper, and finally the pretty frame die cut layer. The patterned papers will come from the Ai Encouragement Paper Pack and the frame will be cut from the Ai Decorative Journal Page 1 Die Set (5768).

For the white frame let’s add a “faux” layer by masking the scalloped edges using some Post-it Layering and Cover-up Tape. Once the tape is securely placed on this frame, we will add some ink blending in a pretty Speckled Egg color. So now it will look like two layers!

Let’s add a sentiment to this frame layer using the Ai Encouragement Sentiment Set (5949), and it will say “Healing thoughts sent your way, to lift your spirits to a brighter day.” The sentiments in this set are just so thoughtful and kind.

Now let’s go ahead and layer up the card using some 3D Foam Squares for added dimension and interest.

Finally, we will add the floral arrangement in the bottom left-hand corner. Don’t forget the pretty little bird! Let’s also add a cute bow using some white twine and some shimmer and sparkle with some coordinating teal gems!
