Intricate Die Cuts and A Soothing Color Scheme

Hello crafty friends! It's the weekend again, and I hope will have time to craft a bit and just let your soul relax. To inspire you, I'm sharing a project featuring Concord & 9th supplies today. Mainly, I have fallen for the gorgeous, intricate flower die cuts:

I die cut those flowers from very sturdy card stock (scraps I found lying around) and then colored them with one color of Copic each. I made sure to have a light one, one mid-tone, and one dark blue-green color. Then it was just about arranging those flower on my center piece and not cover up too much of the sentiment:

The sentiment is from the Being Classy stamp set – I love the big handwritten font, it can be the centerpiece of a card just by itself. As for the color scheme, I actually looked that one up on Pinterest and I love the soft browns with the fresh mint colors.

For embellishment, I added a few pearls and dots with a silver gel pen. You know I can't help myself ;)

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you got inspired!

I Dig You

Hi crafters! Popping in today with a quick card featuring the cute gnomes by My Favorite Things. I colored my little gnome with my ZIG clean color real brush markers (that's a mouthful!) and realized that the blending isn't quite as easy as I had thought. At least I didn't wait long enough before adding more color when the first layer was still wet so the colors feathered a bit.

The rest of the card was rather easy to accomplish: some Gansai Tambi watercolors for the background and then the embossed sentiment on the black card stock. I am happy that I though of running that tiny black piece of paper through my die cutting machine with the same die I used to cut the panel so the scalloped edges would match up.

Thank you for stopping by today. Cheers!
