  • Stamped the cherry blossom using Alcohol marker friendly ink – Memento Tuxedo Black ink here.
  • Colored the image with Chameleon markers carefully inside the periphery of the images.
  • Then the whole image, is highlighted using blue shade of chameleon marker over the outer periphery of whole image so as to pop the image.
  • Finally Fabercastell Polychromos colored pencils are used to bring out shades and shadows to the images.
  • Sentiment is stamped from the same stampset using Memento tuxedo black ink.
  • Few clear dew droplets were added as accents.
  • Then the focal panel is added to the standard A2 sized black card base.

Second card:

For this card, i made use of Gorgeous Magnolia Stampset, giving it a bit of Mixed media touch.



  • Took  12x12cm top fold kraft cardbase.
  • Then took a white focal panel which is bit lesser in size, is distressed around the edges.
  • Bit of stenciling done using TCW- Tile using Prima Light base tinted with Hickery Smoke Distress ink.
  • Colored ornated chipboard using Black soot distress ink
  • Used No line coloring technique for the Magnolia images using Fabercastell polychromes pencils.
  • Fussy cut it and kept aside.
  • Added the ornated chipboard onto the focal panel with fussy cut image on top and white doily as base.
  • Spanish moss, Prima artstone, tinted cheese cloth (Peeled paint distress ink) added along with the colored image, which is popped using Scotch foam adhesive.
  • Sentiment is stamped on vellum using Archival ink and added to the focal panel.
  • The focal panel is then mounted onto the kraft cardbase using foam adhesives.
