Today’s Colorado Craft Company Summer Garden Card is created with the fabulous new Background Stamp from this months release, SUMMER GARDEN.  This takes all the sweet new images and combines them into one large stamp.  Great for backgrounds, or color the entire thing and make it the star of your card.

I colored my card front today with copic markers and I have them listed below.  You could also use colored pencils, watercolors, what ever medium you feel like creating with to color these cute images.

 

 

Colorado Craft Company Summer Garden Card:

Start by placing a piece of Hammermill White cardstock 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ into the Misti and stamping the background stamp.  I used Gina K Amalgam Ink as it’s copic friendly.

Then, pick which section you would like to color and cut it down to 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″, (Or use a die to cut it out).  This way you are not wasting ink coloring what you might not use.

Finally, color the images with Copic markers:

Copic Markers Used:
Gray N0, N1, Oranges:  Y15, Y17, Y38, Greens:  YG21, YG23, YG17, Pinks:  R20 ( ears, cheek and nose)  Purples:  V12, V17 Reds:  R20, R35, Browns:  E31, E33, E34 and for the background I used B00.

 

Adding the Sentiment:

White heat emboss the sentiment from the Garden Therapy Stamp Set onto a scrap of Black Cardstock.

Next, mount the colored card front to a top folding A2 sized white card base (4-1/4″ x 11″  – scored and folded at 5-1/2″).

Then, use foam squares to attach the sentiment to the center right of the card.

PRO-TIP – it’s also fun to stamp and color the back flap on your envelope, to match the card front, giving the recipient a little sneak peek at what’s inside.
