Happy Blooming Birthday Card by March Guest Designer Jane Clark

Hi there, Miss Jane here again sharing a card using one of the beautiful images from the Loads of Blooms set. I'm blessed to have such gorgeous friends and I know this set is perfect to make a card to brighten their day!

I really wanted the girl image with the BIG bunch of blooms to stand out, so I coloured her with Copic markers then created the background using grey tones. I think the grey background really makes the image pop from the card, don't you think?

I lightly drew the background first using a lead pencil, just to get the angles right, once I was happy I went over the top with a C1 Copic marker then erased my lines. I created shades using N2 and C2 Copic markers, then I thought I would make it look like a sketch and added grey pencils lines to make the details more prominent. I spent a few hours on it and finally I just had to be happy with the result. I'm not an expert, it's not perfect, but basically we're all learning and must be content not to compare ourselves to experts! Just have fun and that's certainly what I had!! Such a gorgeous set!

Thanks for looking, I hope I have inspired you in some way.

Happy stamping
