Hi crafty friends. It’s Bobbi Lemanski here with a vibrant card featuring some new items by Alex Syberia Designs. This 5″ X 7″ card features the following new items from the Spring in Kyota collection:
Spring in Kyoto BetterPress and Stencil Bundle
and from previous collections:
Classic Sentiments press plate and die set
To create this 5″ X 7″ card, I started by inking up the Parasols BetterPress Plate with BetterPress black ink. Once printed, I added color using the coordinating stencil from the Spring in Kyoto BetterPress and Stencil Bundle. I used a pretty combination of blue colors to color the parasols. I used Distress Oxide Ink in Mermaid Lagoon, Broken China, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch and Prize Ribbon. I cropped the design to fit on my white A7 card base.
I cut out all of the foliage, fan and floral die cuts. I colored the larger florals using my B00 Copic Marker. For the smaller florals, I die cut the leaves from green cardstock and the small flower buds from a turquoise color. The leafy greenery was die cut from green cardstock and the the eucalyptus from a light aqua cardstock. I used Copics YG25 and BG49 to shade them. The larger fan from the Fan & Bow Etched Die set was cut from aqua cardstock. I die cut additional mini hearts from colored cardstock and added them back in to the fan’s design for more pretty and colorful accents on the fan.
I assembled the fans, bows, florals and leaves in the bottom corner of the parasol design. I attached the fan using foam tabs and tucked the florals and greenery behind and around the fan. Lastly, I added in the “thank you” sentiment from the Classic Sentiments press plate and die set behind the fan to complete the look.
