Day #5: Blue Knight Rubber Stamps New Release Week & Giveaway

Hello, and welcome back to Day #5 of Blue Knight Rubber Stamps new release week and giveaway, here at my blog.

(The giveaway is opened to blog visitors with USA mailing addresses....details shared at the end of this blog post)

I'm happy you share another new release stamp and card with you today...
One that I think will inspire you and guide you to creating cards that are beautifully colored, yet aren't labor intensive!

As always...my objective is to share wonderful stamps with you...and show you how easy it is to create cards with them....
Card that are do-able for card makers who create at all levels...and above all...cards that are enjoyable to create!

If you ordinarily shy away from creating cards with images that require coloring...you'll like today's new release DAISIES and ROSES stamp set and the card I've created with it.
The large floral image has areas that look lovely when colored....and some areas (the daisies) that require just a little bit of coloring and light shading.

To create this very CAS card I stamped the image onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Card Stock using a stamp positioning tool and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink (this ink is Copic/alcohol marker compatible)
I colored the image and added a light green inked background around the edges of the image piece.
Next I stamped the HAPPY BIRTHDAY part of a stamp from one of the sentiment stamps in the BIRTHDAY WISHES stamp set (I love that stamp set!) ...then I hand cut the sentiment banner shape.
After the image was trimmed to size...I chose the mat layers (a matte orange tone card stock and LCI gold metallic card stock)
I also chose LCI's gold metallic card stock for matting the sentiment banner.
I positioned the matted image piece and the sentiment banner with foam for added dimension.

The blooms in the image are big and beautiful...and fun to color.
I chose to use Copics on this card...but this image is ideal for pencil coloring..PanPastels and water coloring as well.

I am enjoying each card that I've created this week with Blue Knight's new release stamps...and I'm excited to bring you another cared tomorrow, as new release week continues here at my blog.
