Hello! Today I’m sharing a card using a floral digi image from Sunshine and Bee Designs I chose this beautiful bouquet of Gerberas as a large background image on a 5 x 7 base. This is the first time that I’ve ever used a digi image to create a card, so this design is quite straightforward.
TUTORIAL:
To begin, I printed out the image onto an A4 sheet of Canson Bristol paper. Then, I masked off the flowers by using some art masking liquid. I only applied the fluid onto the Gerberas and once the masking fluids are dry, I then very light handedly blended the background with Catherine pooler inks in Sweet Sixteen and Flirty Fuchsia (both inks available through the little paper tree).
After the background Is nicely blended, I rubbed off the masking coating with a sand eraser and start colouring the flowers. I used my spectrum noir tri-blends to shade and add details to the petals. The colours I used were FS6 and Coral Blend for the petals, TN2 ,TN5 CR3, FS6 for the centre of the flowers with a gold pen. Then with the Colour PL4 to fill in the whites or gaps of the purple background.
To add some dimensions, I decided to to die cut the image using the 3rd die from Claina Palmers 5x7 double stitch nested dies. I then assembled the outer layer directly on to the card base and foam mounted the centre piece in place. Finally I added a gold heat embossed sentiment from my ready made stash and a few rhinestones on to the sentiment strip to complete the card.
Personally for me, using digi images is very straightforward, I think I need to gain more experience to try and experiment with what I can do with digi images. I do find it to be convenient to have a perfect clear image to work with, and I did enjoy colouring them.
