I love the image from C. C. Designs DoveArt Studios Himalayan Poppy and decided to use it for my Mom’s Mother’s Day card this year. She loves red and so that is what I used to color this image with Copic Markers: R22, R24, R27, R29; YG99, YG97, YG95; BG000, BG0000.
Once coloring was done I die cut the image with the second largest Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Stackable Rectangles. Another rectangle was cut from Paper Accents Gold Mirror Cardstock 1/8” larger and both were adhered together using Be Creative Double Sided Tape. (I find this works best with the smooth surface of mirror cardstock.) Simon Says Stamp Script Mom was also cut from the same mirror cardstock and again from Darice Sticky Backed Fun Foam. I cut the foam with the sticky side up and find it works really well to add dimension to die cut words.
Darice Sticky Back Fun Foam was added to the back of the focal image rectangle and then it was placed on a top folding A2 cardbase made from Gina K. Designs 120# White Cardstock to determine where to stamp the secondary sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Mother’s Day, which was stamped underneath the focal image rectangle on the right. The focal image was then adhered to the cardbase with Tombo Mono Multi Glue. Pretty Pink Posh Metallic Gold Sequins were scattered on the card front.
I thought the card was done at this time, but the more I looked at it I just felt that it needed something more. I had just watched a YouTube video about adding shading to Copic colored images with colored pencils and decided to give it a try. I used my Derwent Inktense Pencil 0410 Hot Red to add shadows to the flower centers and liked it much better, but I still felt it needed something, so I pulled out my Sakura Gelly Roll Metallic Gold #551 pen and added gold dots to the flower stamen and finally felt like it was complete.
