Colorful Life


Hi friends! Have you had a chance to check out the fabulous new July goodies from Not 2 Shabby? This month's box theme is tropical and I'm just loving all of these gorgeous products.  For today, I have a quick little card I created with the Birds of Paradise paper pad and one of the stamp sets in the July Box of the Month. If you like to watch the process, I do have a quick video for you below or on my YouTube channel.


I absolutely love this beautiful hibiscus image, so stamped it out in Versafine ink and then colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a waterbrush. I cut it with my Scan 'n Cut and while I was at it cut a black mat with a .08" border to add some contrast.  I did the same with the sentiment, using a pencil to connect any letters that weren't connected.


Once things were cut out, I laid down my stamp over the stamped image to use as a mask, then splattered ink from the markers I used to color for a splashy background.  I tied in the black with a black mat around the Birds in Paradise print, then added to a skinny stripe patterned paper from the same pad.  Sparkly enamel dots add the perfect finishing touch.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful day!
