If you know me, you know that I'm not a "one-of-a-kind-card" maker. I always use a stamp many times and try to vary it by changing colors, phrases, etc. because I give away more than 1000 cards a year to charities, family and friends.
On all the cards below, I used Copic Express-It blending cardstock, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics and Copic markers. The stamp set comes with a butterfly and a bee. Whenever I used the butterfly, I stamped it on the original image and also on a separate sheet of Copic X-Press-It which I colored, cut out and superimposed on the original image with foam tape for extra dimension.
Here are the results.
These first two were colored with the following Copics:
Leaves & stems G46, G43
Tulips G43, G40, G20, YG0000
Bee Y08, Y0000 (Stickles on wings)
Butterfly Y38, Y08, Y0000

ReplyDeleteThey're great! ALL the color combos look amazing and I like how you varied the layouts. WOW, a thousand cards. May God bless you for your generosity and thoughtfulness. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so beautiful. I like giving my cards away to charities and friends and family as well. So having a design and layout and then repeating is an excellent idea.
