How to Make
1.
Stamp the Dovecraft Bohemian clear bird stamp
onto a piece of A4 card. The rose was coloured with shades of the pink including
the sorbet (43), candy (44) and skin tone porcelain (07) markers. I then
highlighted the petals using the crimson (15) and cool grey (02) markers.
Tip: Use a small circular motion when colouring to give you
streak free colouring.
2.
The pistachio (25) twin marker was perfect for
colouring the stems around the bird. To create shading around the steams, I
used the grass (27) twin marker. I also used these markers along with the
pine marker (30) for the larger leaves. I then added various shades of yellow
for the smaller blooms including the primrose (37), warm yellow (40) and lemon
(38) marker.
3.
Colour in the bird using the sky (20), dusky
purple (31) and porcelain (07) twin markers, use the blender marker to create a
realistic detail to the bird stamp. To shade the bird stamp, use the cool grey
(02) marker to colour the outlines of the feathers and head, this will create
more depth. For the beak I used the primrose yellow twin marker (37) and jade (26) and shaded with the warm yellow
marker (40)
Tip: Use a lighter shade marker pen to help blend shades
together while the ink is still wet to give effortless blending.
4.
To add a contrast in colours, I coloured the bud
using the purples twin marker pack. I coloured the tip using the lilac (33)
marker and added graduation with the lavender (32) marker. To finish, I used
the amethyst marker to create a more realistic flower.
Tip: Store your marker pens flat so the colour doesn’t
settle at one end and dry the pens out.
5.
Cut the Dovecraft Bohemian 6” x 6” floral paper
into a 15cm square. Stick to the front of the kraft card blank with double
sided tape.
6.
With the distressed grid paper, cut out a doily
using the First Edition Doily set. Cut in half and add to the bottom right of
the card.
7.
Cut the pink floral paper to an 11.5cm square
and layer onto a piece of kraft card which has been cut to a 12cm square. Add
to the top left of the card at an angle.
8.
Cut a strip of kraft cardstock to 6.5cm x 14cm,
mat and layer with a 13.5cm x 6cm piece of the striped glitter paper. Stick the
panel to the centre of the card.
9.
Mat the coloured stamp on to a 9.5cm square of
kraft paper and stick on top of the striped paper at an angle.
10.
Add
a wooden rose to the bottom left corner and butterfly topper to the top right
corner of the stamped image. Cut out a large butterfly from repeat butterfly
print paper, bend the wings gently and stick to the centre of the topper and
decorate with three adhesive gems.
11.
Stamp
the 'With Love' sentiment onto the piece of the distressed grid paper and cut
to 5.6cm x 1.7cm paper. Stick to the bottom right of the card using
Dovecraft foam squares.
