Creating a Flower Frame

Hello Friends, Its day two of my frames and boarders at the Penny Black blog this week . I have to tell you how grateful I am for the support you show me by taking the time to leave a comment at the Penny Black blog...thank you!!

Let's get started with my first card for today. I used the "Sundial" flower stamp to create my frame. I combined Copic & Tombow markers and I didn't spend to much time adding highlights on the flower since I wanted the image to stand out.


I cut an extra pair of wings & added Glossy Accents on the bee. I flipped the flower over & traced it with pencil for the back of my card. Notice in order to save time I labeled the two of the petals so it's  super fast to line up the image with the white backing.


For my second card I wanted to make a fun and whimsical frame so I took the corner of this stamp (see below) and repeatedly stamped it onto a circle.

See the stamp in the left hand corner...with the branch. I used the corner of the branch to stamp on the circle. The boarder part of the frame on the stamp is what gave the circle a geometric look. After stamping I colored with Copic markers and added lots of white dots with a gel pen & Enamel Accents.

(Here are two baby card I recently created with this transparent set. Love these hedgehogs. Baby card one and card number two.)





 One of my favorite Spellbinders dies is the "Lacey Circles"


I added lots of layers to create a dramatic and dimensional frame. You might notice I used Enamel Accents on each flower on the frame. On special cards I use Scrap Dots instead of foam dots. I love how it's clear and barely noticeable.


My two favorite Copic colors for the face are E50 and RV10. Let me know if you have any questions and I will be back with two masculine cards tomorrow. A few of you asked where I purchased the wood floor stamp in this card. Here is a link for you. Have a great day and thanks again. Hugs, Kathy
