Thinking of You Card by March Guest Designer Jane Trivedi

Hi friends!  It’s Jane here, sharing my last card as guest designer for Newton’s Nook Designs. Today, I'm featuring the adorable critters from the Woodland Spring Stamp Set.  Modeling paste and Serene Stripes Stencil also used to create a textured background to frame my scene.

To create this card, I first stamped the floral image on a piece of Bristol cardstock. Next, I stamped the image on masking paper and cut the image using my scissors. The same process was repeated for all the images, stamping and then masking each image. Next, using a small blender brush, I blended the following Catherine Pooler Inks (left to right): chiffon, orange peel, coral cabana, be mine, pixie dust, and serenade.

After the blending was done, I colored the images using a fine water brush and Zig clean color brush markers.  Next, I used a black waterproof pen to go over the images adding thicker lines in some areas to create the illusion of shadow. Then, I added white gel pen highlights to the images and surrounding ink blended areas for a whimsical touch!

To create the textured background, I used the Serene Stripes Stencil  and white modeling paste on a piece of heavy weight watercolor paper. After the panel was dry, I cut the embossed panel to 5 inches by 3.75 inches. The ink blended panel was also cut and mounted on foam tape and adhered to the textured background.  Sentiment from the Woodland Spring Stamp Set was white heat embossed on black cardstock and adhered to the front of the card using foam tape.

The entire card front was mounted to a piece of light grey cardstock and then to an A2 white card base and that completes the card!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Big thanks to Newton’s Nook Designs for having me as a guest this month! 

Happy crafting everyone!
