     I kept picturing neon colors behind a black pattern so for my pair of neon birthday cards, I first colored half of an 8.5 x 11  piece of white card stock with a rainbow of fluorescent Copics mixed with a bit of neon Sharpies. On the one above, I did a  swirly hodgepodge and on the one below I  did rainbow stripes. Then I stamped the Chalkboard Fan background with versafine onyx.  I used versafine because I consistently get a better black coverage with large, detailed images like this one.  On the one above, I used the Vintage Flourish die to die cut the entire background, then die cut another out of white. I covered a piece of white paper with adhesive (just used my ATG big gun) and stuck the white version to it. Call me crazy, but I took all the neon piece (negative bits that are usually discarded) and pieced them into the corresponding spaces on the white version. Then I placed the die back over it and ran it through the embossing cycle again just to make sure it all stuck in place.  I used the largest center die to cut out the large neon center frame and used the smallest insert to cut the scrolly frame. So I actually got all of the neon pieces out of the one background! Not too shabby! The greeting was stamped w/ neon pink ink and the  frame w/ black then fussy cut.The white layer was stamped w/ black and die cut.

    This one was a bit simpler. I added a die cut white frame that I pierced all the way around and a smaller white frame that was stamped with black. The scrolly center was done the same as above except in white. So in reality, I actually was able to make two A2 sized birthday cards out of 1 piece of 8.5 x 11 white card stock (not counting the actual cards). Not too bad, considering all the parts and pieces! These are the Copics & Sharpies I used for both cards.Julie Warner - https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com

  • Monochromatic Flowers & a Circle Challenge

    Posted on by Julie 4 Comments

    I have a couple more cards to share today…first a couple of monochromatic cards. This first one is for the MIX61 challenge, monochromatic. I used shades of yellow..from pale to a dull yellow/gray. The large yellow background is actually a really big paint chip with 3 colors of pale yellow. So I’m hoping the paint chip (found item), ink, Copics, glitter glue and ribbon will be enough to fit in the “Mix”. After coloring my daisies, I added the greeting and a pen work frame around it and the right edge is a bit out of the box. The seam ribbon was colored w/ Copics and added to the handle.
    These are the Copics I used.

    This next card was sort of a trial run for the one above. It is also monochromatic, but there’s not a real mix of stuff going on so it really doesn’t fit the “mix”. It does fit into the Free For All Challenge, circles! (F4A214).

    This one is very CAS (clean & simple). I stamped the big bloom, masked it and stamped the writing along one side. I used pretty much the same Copics as the one above, minus the cool grays. The greeting was stamped on little strip and the two left side corners were rounded. I added 2 Candi dots in the upper right for a little balance.

    For my card, I die cut the teapot & teacup in white, then lightly embossed them only on lt yellow card stock. I used yellow & yellow/orange Copic markers to add some additional color to the embossed yellow roses, then trimmed to fit under the white die cut versions. I came across a previously die cut white oval frame & used the same Copics to add color to match. I did the same with the larger, yellow/orange mat. The printed paper was added underneath for contrast. On the larger piece of designer paper, I stamped the tea border with the distress ink and added some of the yellow/orange color to it as well. The layout is a bit non-standard but I had some pieces of designer paper left from another project and didn’t want them to go to waste. One word of the tea border was stamped on white and I used a multi tag punch to punch out the one little “tea bag” tag to add to the cup. I added a printed navy Candi dot in the upper left for balance.
