Today I have used the Hydrangea Flower digital stamp from Delicious Doodles,
one of our generous sponsors this week, to make an A5 top folding birthday card.

I was excited to try a new technique called palette blending with my Copic markers.

You take your markers and scribble on to some acetate then use a zero "0" marker to add and blend the colours on to your image.  Because the colourless blender neutralises much of the colour, you start off with quite dark colours.  These petals were coloured with B79 and R39.  Hard to believe such bold colours can become so delicate isn't it?





Once the image was coloured (and dry ... it was pretty saturated to blend the colour in the petals) I fussy cut it out with micro tip scissors then went around the edges with my Memento marker.

The card base is an A5 top fold.  I adhered a panel of scarlet cardstock, then an offset panel of black cardstock, then another offset panel of scarlet cardstock.  I used the same black cardstock to die cut "happy" and "birthday" five times.  The sentiments were layered together then adhered in place.

Lucky last came the image panel.  I placed a bundle of black foam dots under it then adhered it securely in place, giving it some extra dimension and pop.

Here are another couple pics ... 

   

Here is a little sneak peek of what is coming soon ...
