Hello, friends! Today I'm playing in some challenges with a stamp set I've long coveted. Some friends picked it up for me at a local show last summer (thank you, Ana and Katrina!).
Colored with Copic Markers in a variety of green hues, the image was heat set with clear detail embossing powder, and then surrounded by white Prismacolor Pencil for a halo effect.
Due to the pearlescent coating on the green cardstock, the shine still seeps through the Copic Markers and allows for the un-spot-lighted areas to still remain semi-transparent, and have color show through.
The sentiment was heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, and die cut using Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets #1 using only the "fish tail" portion.
Two extra flowers were fussy cut after being embossed and colored, to be popped up for dimension.
I really, REALLY enjoyed working with this set, and can hardly wait to use it again, with "real" coloring. It's an inspiring set to work with. Finished card is 5.25 x 5.25 inches.
My card uses two freebies on the interior (see below).
Boo Boo Time:
Products: Stamps: The Ton Transformation Stamp Set - Papers Bazzil Pearlized Green Textured, Xpress-it White, Inks: VersaFine Clair Green Oasis (main image), VersaMark (sentiment), MISC: White Prismacolor Pencil (for halo around butterfly), Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets 1 die set, White Detail embossing powder, clear detail embossing powder, Wink of Stella on 3 flowers, Copic Markers
A Gift For You
Use them separately, together or as "innie's and outie's".
Please do not sell these Sentiments. Use on any of your projects, including projects involving any design teams you might be on.
Click on the image to bring it to full size. Because of the changes Google Made with Blogger (June 2020), your image will appear to be solid black. Don’t panic. Right click and do a SAVE AS PNG. Once it is saved on your hard drive, you can open it and it will have a transparent background. I create PNGs instead of JPGs so they can be placed anywhere on a scene or project, and so backgrounds can be made using them. Please let me know if you have any problems. I hope they serve you well!
Enjoy!

Oh wow that is such an awesome technique, I can imagine it is quite tricky. such pretty shimmer on it and I do love the dimension you gave to it with the flowers! Greg quote with it too! So pretty in shades of green!
This is so lovely Donna, the spotlight technique looks wonderful on this beautiful design. Gorgeous stamp and colouring, all in shades of my favourite colour, I love it.
Thanks for the lovely freebie sentiments.

I'm blown away with the way you incorporated the flowers directly into the butterfly which perfectly coordinates with the sentiment! Gorgeous and amazing, and thanks for sharing those 2 wonderful sentiments also! Thanks for sharing this at the brand new Triple B Challenge! (Carol, GD)
Such a gorgeous creation as usual Donna, I love that sentiment as well my dear friend.
Thank you so much for the freebies too.

What a beautiful card Donna, I love your colours and card design. I hope you are keeping well, Kate x
Lovely creation Donna. The shades are awesome and thanks so much for sharing with us at Try it on Tuesday!
I love your Butterfly/Florals design!! Awesome card!!
Beautiful green butterfly composition! I am sure it is an elegant one too with the shine. I love the in and out sentiment verses you made too! I wish I could make use of digital designs still.
Love your monochromatic card. I always smile at your boo-boos and how well you're able to hide them. I definetely learn a lot from reading your posts :-) You see, I often make the same mistakes and sometimes can't figure out a way to fix them. But then again, there are no mistakes in crafting ... only creative opportunities :-) You demonstrate this beautifully, my friend! Your cards are always stunning!
Hugs,
Lena
Another beautiful creation TFS
Oh, this is just gorgeous, Donna. I love your coloring on the green pearlescent paper and the spotlight technique really adds a wow factor to this design. And there’s plenty of green here. So glad to see you joining our challenge at Try it on Tuesday.
Wow, what a stunning card! I love your butterfly design and how the shimmer of the cardstock shines through the copic markers that you used - so beautiful ☺️. Thanks so much for joining in the fun at Try it on Tuesday! Hugs, Jo x
LOL Donna, I think it was meant to be that you stamped crooked because the green frame definitely adds grounding and definition as there is a lot going on in that floral stamp, also weight on that side to balance the butterfly. See, you "knew" that unconsciously! I think it's a really cool card and perfect quote to finish it. XOX
Oops, where are my manners? THANK YOU for the sentiments, as usual you rock them. XOX
LOVE that image, it's BIG and BOLD and BEAUTIFUL! Glad you finally got it! The greens are so lush and pretty--great choice! Yes, your sentiments are lovely too! Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Double D, Everything’s Coming Up Green Challenge. Donna, DT Member.
Simply beautiful and I'm loving the hues of green! Thanks very much for the sentiments too! Michelle x
Oooh, it's gorgeous and the shine really shows through on those flowers! I love this type of stamp and do have a few different ones. Transformation stamp is a good name for it, especially the butterfly with all it's essential pollination work. The greens are peaceful and it's interesting how you corrected your boo boo. I didn't even realize it was a boo boo until you shared the fact. We all make blunders on our cards and it's great that you show us creative ways in which to fix them. Donna, you know I've been a little busy this week, but I'm hoping to catch up now and glad I saw your card at Double D. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Hugs!
Beautiful card Donna, love the green shades and wonderful stamp.
Hugs Pam x
