SSS Ornate Ornaments - Hope and Joy with Copics

Hello Lovely.  Are you ready for the weekend?  I know I sure am.  I've done a lot of socializing this week and I'm ready for some downtime in the studio.  Let's talk about this Christmas card.  Yes, I said Christmas.  I've transitioned out of the Fall cards and into the Holidays.

I'm gonna start by telling you this was take two of this card.  If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you know that I stamped the ampersand sideways the first time.  Ok, let's talk about what I did to make this beauty.

I started by stamping the ornaments from the Simon Says Stamp Ornate Ornaments set onto a Neenah Solar White 80# cardstock panel.  I started by stamping my silver ornament first, masked with a mask I fussy cut from a full stick Post-it note and stamped the green and red ornaments.  I used Gina K. Amalgam ink because I knew I wanted to Copic color my ornament.  The green ornament is shaded using YG17, YG67, and YG23, then silver accents were added with a silver gel pen.  The silver ornament is shaded using C2, C1 and C0, then covered with Wink of Stella glitter pen. The red ornament is shaded with R35 and RV29, then the same silver gel pen accents as the green.

I used the string stamp that is included in the set and then went over it with a Micron Pen to thicken the line a bit.  I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set under the ornaments in VersaFine Onyx black ink.

To finish the card I cut the right edge of the panel using the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Edge dies.  Added some plaid paper to a white card base and adhered my colored panel.

Thanks for swinging by today.  Have a crafty weekend and I see you back here on Monday.
