     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

  • ODBD March Look Back

    Julie Warner - https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com
    Today we are taking another look at the Our Daily Bread designs March release! And what a wonderful release it is!

    For my card, I stamped the hive, bees and greeting with indigo ink and added a little yellow with some Tombow markers. The indigo ink is not compatible with Copics so I had to use a water based marker. I die cut with a rectangle and edged it with a yellow Permapaque marker. The greeting was done the same way and I used the Tombow marker to add the yellow to the letters. The honeycomb background was stamped first with the lemonade ink then only along the left edge with indigo ink. The right side was die cut and also edged w/ the Permapaque marker. The navy bg was embossed and the little bees were die cut w/ the matching die from the Zinnia die set. I wanted one bee facing the opposite direction, so I cut the legs off so it wouldn’t look like he was flying upside down, lol. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the beautiful sets I used:

    I used the beautiful Quote Collection 4 for my cards. On the first card. I made an acrylic block background by inking a large block with several colors of distress inks, spritzing with water then pressing a piece of white card stock onto the block. After it dried, I stamped the bookmark image and quote on top and trimmed. Two piece of pale lime card stock were die cut using the Beautiful Borders dies, attached to black card stock then attached under my image. The beautiful dp is from the ODBD Blooming Garden collection paper. I colored some seam ribbon to match and added some sequins (a few of those were also colored with Copics to match).

    On my second card, I stamped the bamboo frame, colored & die cut it with a rectangle. I used a craft knife to cut out the inside before attaching it on top of my quote.  The two sizes of dragonflies were stamped on scraps of the same blue dp (ODBD Blooming Garden collection) I used for the background. After fussy cutting them, I added stickles on top. I added some straw like woven ribbon and two brads I colored with Copics to match.
