CARD

If you’ve been around for some time you probably already know that when it comes to choosing a color scheme for a card I’m either go with something pretty bold (and often non traditional for an object in question) or shift to an opposite side of the spectrum and only use one lonely color for a card (just kidding, I love making monochromatic cards). So today is the bold and non traditional side of the spectrum as you may see below. Although now the flower diversity is so broad that probably any colors can be seen in real life,,,,

Anyways, for my card design I went with a simple one layer (almost) design.

Bold Iris Flower Card. Card by Svitlana Shayevich

First I stamped two flowers in bright purple (the inks I used are linked below) onto a white panel. I used masking paper to make a couple of masks for the flowers. First I stamped the first one (located in front), then placed a mask onto it and stamped the second one “behind” it.

After that I put the mask onto the second flower and stamped the leaves in teals.

Leaving the flowers masked off I inked the panel from the bottom to the top using the same teal inks I used to stamp the leaves. Since the same ink was using for both blending and stamping I didn’t need to mask off the leaves.

After I finished the ink blending I sprinkled the background with water to add some texture. After that I removed the mass from the flowers.

The sentiment I decided to stamp along the panel side edge, mimicking the way text is placed on a Japanese vertical writing you may see on botanical pictures. Or course my sentiment is not quite vertical, but I like how both simply and unusual it looks.

To finish off the card I foam mounted the panel onto a white card base using the Instant Dimension Foam Tape and added several clear droplets to accentuate it.
