Hi everyone! This is Jennifer Rustioni from
@armieritagli! I’m very excited to be back as a guest on the Spellbinders Blog! Today I share with you the projects I realized featuring the new beautiful
Stampendous Spring Collection! I really long for the warm season to come and these stamps smell just like spring, don't you think?
SWEET SONG
For my first card, I chose to realize a little watercolor illustration, featuring the super cute
Sweet Song Stamp Set! I trimmed a piece of watercolor paper 100% cotton and stamped on it the bird and the flowers (I stamped only the small flowers) with the Distress Oxide Antique Linen, to have a no-line effect. Then, I drew the branch with a graphite pencil. I started realizing the background with the Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors using the wet-on-wet technique, to give a blurry effect.
After that, I colored the bird, the flowers, and the branch. I realized the shadows with Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils, to give more definition to the subjects in the foreground. At last, I added the highlights and the details with a white gel pen.
HELLO BUTTERFLY
The second project I created is featuring the amazing
Hello Butterfly Stamp Set. I stamped the flowers and the butterfly on watercolor paper with the Distress Oxide Antique Linen to have, one again, a no-line effect. I colored the flowers and the butterfly using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Watercolor markers. I added a touch of a gold watercolor on the butterfly’s wings to give it more deifinition.
After that, I realized some color splashes on the flowers and on the butterfly as well. I used the sentiment from the
Hummingbird Day Stamp Set and stamped it on the right of my card with black ink. At last, I added some Champagne Smooth Discs at my card and matted it with black card stock.
HUMMINGBIRD DAY
The last card I created is featuring the super sweet
Hummingbird Day Stamp Set. I stamped the two hummingbirds with the Memento Ink Pad Rich Cocoa on the Transotype Perfect Colouring Paper. I colored them with Copic Markers (you can find the shades of colors I used in the supplies list below).
I increased the shadows with a black pastel pencil and then added the highlights with a white gel pen. I trimmed the sentiment from a sheet of the
Quick Cards Hope of Spring and glued it at the bottom of my card. At last, I matted the card with a kraft card stock.
