Mother's day is coming up so here's last year's Mother's Day card. It's a fairly simple idea. I used die cuts mostly but you could adopt the idea to whatever letters you have available from punch outs to stamps. You could use this for a birthday card too. Click on the card if you want directions. | |
I've done a fair bit of coloring with Copic markers recently. In this case, I used the BIC Mark-It Markers which have some interesting colors (even if the caps don't match the actual color) and are much more affordable. Since they are alcohol based you can use water based glitter glue over them without the ink running like I did. Don't get me wrong, if you can afford the Copic markers, Copic Ciao or Sketch markers are the better choice but I wanted to show you can do creative coloring on a budget with the right stamp and markers. | |
Here is another variant, showing how you can totally change the look by just changing one of the colors. I tended to stay with more nuetral colors so it works for both genders. Click on either card if you want to know the exact colors or any other specifics. | |
