Good morning everyone, today is a mini release day over on Whimsy Stamps with several new fun and quirky stamps and dies. I may a fun slimline card featuring the newly released Giraffe Momma and Baby on a graded ombre watercolor background.
To begin my card, I cut a piece of watercolor paper and created an easy graded ombre watercolor background inspired by a brightly vivid sunset.
I used my Mijello Mission Gold watercolors and created a wash of several shades blending one into another to create a dramatic background for the Giraffe Momma and Baby.
Once I had the color intensity in the background, I set the panel to air dry and began working on coloring the images.
Copic Markers Combination
Body: E55, Y26, Y32, Y23, E50
Spots Momma: E39, E37, E35, E33
Spots Baby: E35, E33, E31, E30
Ossicones (Horns) E59, E57, E55
Tail: E59, E55
Hooves: E59, E57, E55
Ears: R20, R30
I created a frame using a Slimline Postage Die that complemented the brightness of the background and created a striking contrast.
To complete this card, I attached the images with foam adhesive and added a sentiment that was embossed with white embossing powder.
I have a video tutorial of this card where I share how I created this card and how I colored the images with Copic Markers. Watch the video below or follow the link to my YouTube Channel!
