Papertrey Make It Monday #107: Clear Card & Copic Coloring Basics

Hello! I am participating in Papertrey's Make-It-Monday this week. This week is all about making clear cards, as demonstrated by Nicole Heady here. I have always loved the look of clear cards, but never really experimented with them until now. I chose to use YOF: Violets for my card. Instead of using my copics to color the flowers, I decided to use watercolor pencils and an aqua brush for a watercolor, artistic look.

 I used a glue pen to add some vintage glitter to the center of the flowers.

Thanks for looking!

Papertrey 6th Anniversary Day Four Contest - card 3

Hello! Here's my last entry for the Year of Flowers Day Four contest over on Nicole's blog for the Papertrey 6th anniversary festivities. These are 4 tags I made using the YOF Collection set. I also used the Crackle mini set on the background of two of them. I added a bit of glitter to the flowers to give them some sparkle. Enjoy!

Hello! I'm back once again to enter the day 4 contest on Nicole's blog for the Year of Flowers. For more details, see my post here. I made cards similar to this one about a year ago when the Postmarks background set came out. I pulled that set out again, as well as the YOF Collection set to make this second card. I used the seed packet frame 2, and seed packet on the front, as well as a sentiment from Movers & Shakers. Hope you enjoy!

Papertrey Ink 6th Anniversary - Day Four contest - card 1

Hello! I hope you are having a good day today! There has been so much excitement over at the Papertrey forum over all the 6th anniversary announcements being made on Nicole's blog here. Today, the fourth day of sneek peeks, Nicole announced that the remaining 11 flowers in the Year Of Flowers Series would have matching dies released on the 15th! I know alot of people are very excited about this announcement. I only have four of the monthly flowers, as well as the YOF Collection set. I know these dies will come in really handy to make some beautiful cards. :)

The contest for today is to make a card using one of the sets in this series. The first card I made uses the YOF Roses set. The rose is probably one of my favorite flowers and I really enjoyed watercoloring this one! I used watercolor paper, embossed the rose with white embossing powder, and colored it in with watercolors. I mounted the watercolor design on berry sorbet cardstock and then again onto white cardstock. Once it was dry, I sprayed Tattered Angels mist over it to add some sparkle and shine. I can't wait to give this out for a wedding card!
