In My Thoughts, Girl

May 14, 2021 - by Julissa Padilla

In My Thoughts, Girl

Happy Friday!  This is Julissa of Paper Gems by Jules and I’m kind of keeping it simple today with this no-line coloring card featuring the new May 2021 Sentiment Kit “In My Thoughts, Girl.”  This new stamp set has beautiful florals and sentiments, but I took the two little leaves and made them a soft focal point.

I don’t often use watercolors, but these beautiful little leaves just called for something more organic.  I stamped them with a very light brown color ink and let it settle.  Next, using the Olive Green Karin Brushmarker, I started with the bottom of each leaf and shaded on side.  Then blended it in with a my water brush using water.

I definitely could use some practice, but it’s hand made. In order to distract the eye from some of the imperfections, I used some ink splatter using the Sandstone Karin Brushmarker.  I just put some of the ink on my glass mat, sprayed a little water on it and used my paint brush to splatter it on.  For another element of color, I used some gold Perfect Pearls pigment and splattered that on.  And for a little… some white paint splattered on.

For the final touches, I stamped the sentiment using VersaMark ink on the new Black Licorice card stock and embossed it in white embossing powder.  I die cut it using a banner die and adhered it to the top layer.  I backed that onto more Black Licorice card stock, and backed it again on gold foiled paper.  Last, all of this was adhered to an ivory card base.

To add a some more detail to this card, I stamped the beautiful florals on the inside of the card.  You can also stamp the envelope.

I encourage you to explore taking the smaller elements of your stamp sets and make something that is simply beautiful.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you found some new ideas to explore.  Until. next time…

Happy Crafting!

Jules
