Hi Friends!!
I would like to share a Clean and Simple Style One Layer Birthday Card I made. I wanted the colorful flowers to stand out and be the focus in the card so I kept the look of the sentiment subdued with black on black heat embossing.
Synopsis of the process:
This is an A2 size landscape top folding card. First I embossed the stitched circle design on the front of the card using a Gina Marie Die and a sizzix silicone rubber pad in a big shot plus. Then I scored 3 horizontal lines using the MS score board. Then I heat embossed some of the flower and leaf images from the Uniko- Originally Organic stamp set (embossed few images, then used masking to emboss the other images within the cirlce), for the heat embossing I used the Zing opaque white embossing powder for the flowers and the Wow Metaline green embossing powder for the leaves. Then I colored the images with Faber Castell Water Color Pencils. To add some details to the card white dots and dashes were drawn using a Uniball Signo White Gel pen. The sentiment reads "birthday wishes" and it is from the Winnie & Walter- A tree for all seasons stamp set. The sentiment was heat embossed with a tone on tone look using Ranger's fine detail black embossing powder. To finish the card, 3 enamel dots were added.

1. Iris cardstock 250 gsm
2. Uniko stamp - Originally Organic

ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous! I love the way the scene pops against the dark background and how you've used dots to emphasise the lines of the original sketch. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)
ReplyDeleteA stunning and eye-catching take on our sketch at Less is More. Your colouring is fabulous and I love the black card base. So dramatic and it sets your colouring off brilliantly. Thanks for playing along with us and Uniko this week. Sarah
ReplyDeleteYou rocked the sketch with the black card base Preeti! It makes the flowers stand out so well and the pops of enamel dots around the sentiment draw the eye to the writing. Fab take on the sketch. Thanks so much for joining us at Less is More xx
