Autumn Day Wheat

I love how fast this card came together. All one really needs is a great detailed stamp and sentiment and the card is practically done. Here are the details on making this card.

Start by stamping the wheat spring and sentiment in Copic friendly black ink onto a white A2 size card panel.

Start coloring process with the darkest color. I used YR23

Then add the next Copic colors. Y18 and Y21

Ink blend all around the edges. I used Gina K in tranquil teal.

Then add some ink splatters using the same color as blending.

and some more ink splatters. Distress oxide in fossilized amber.

Now for die cutting. I am obsessed with this scallops and rectangles nesting dies. This should be a stable in any craft room. I reach for it so often.

Added it to a kraft card base and put a few gems on it for some bling.

Here is the finished card. I will leave you with another sample I did. Using just a single image and sentiment. By changing up the colors you can get a whole different feel.
