Away We Go - Craftin Desert Divas May Release Day 4

Hi there folks.  Im so glad to be on Craftin Desert Divas blog today.  I am here to share with you our Day 4 stamp debut for May Sneak Peek Release "Away We Go" stamp set.

And this is what I have for you.



I created YouTube vdo sharing how I colored and created this one layer card scene with combination of Away We Go stamp and Island Paradise stamp set using Copic Markers.


Some still photos and details for you as well..


I created the beach scene by did some masking at the surfboard and the beach bar and coconut drink stamps from Island Paradise stamp which was sadly retired stamp.  I hope you managed to get it when it's on sale.


I colored in the sand area all over with E31


I then used Kathy Racoosin from The Daily Marker's rag technique with colorless blender at the sand for some rough look and textures.


As for the white form line where the sand meet the water, I created by doing dots lines... lots and lots of them.  You also can used White Gel Pen or some white acrylic paint with stiff brush.

I colored all images with copic markers and the list of markers that I used is below


Brown colors - E35 E33 E31
Blue colors - B02 B00 B000
Yellow colors - Y17 Y15 Y11
Red colors - R59 R37 R24 R22
Green colors - G46 G43 G40
Grey colors - W9 W7 W5 W3 W1

And here is the closer look one more time


I hope you like it and Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful day.

I created YouTube vdo sharing the process how I colored this card...


Here are some still photos for you as well..


I used MISTI for stamping but you can also use acrylic block for this job.


I wanted this card to be one layer card so I traced the medium size heart die from Nested Heart dies to marked the spotlight area.  You can also used the die to cut off that area and color it then puzzle piece it back or pop it up with form tape for some dimensions.
 
 

Here are copic colors that I used.
Spotlight area : 
Inner petals - R56 R85 R83 R81
Outer petals - R83 R81
Leaves - YG17 YG23 YG21

Outside Spotlight area : C3 C1 C0
Heart shape : B02 B00 B000


I cut the panel with Crazy Stitched Frame dies and adhered it to black card base.  I accented my card with Nuvo glow in the dark in Apple Sour to bring back some greenery to the card.  I finished it off by using Wink Of Stella at the sentiment and the flowers  and traced the "thank you" word with Glossy Accent for some dimensions.

I hope you like it and I thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a Wonderful day.

Hugs,
Jan
