Hello Ai fans, Nina here and today I am so excited to share with you my projects I created for our new challenge Fabulous Flowers.
I created a tag to my Ai Tag Journal using Birdhouses stamp Set and the Stitched Tags Die Set.
I stamped the adorable Birdhouses cubbies image on a Bristol Smooth White Paper using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my Mini Misti. I then colored the image using my Copic markers.
Copic Shades:
Browns: E35 E37
Light Browns: E11 E13
Greens: G05 G09 G28
Blues: B21 B45
Pinks: RV13 RV09
Orange: YR68
Yellows: Y08 Y38
Light Green: BG23 BG15
Blue Green: BG45 BG49
I then cut my image and backed it with foam tape.
To create the tag, I die cut the largest die from the stitched Tags Die Set twice from white paper and glued them together to make my tag sturdy. I then ink blended blue shades from Distress Ink. I used Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon shades.
I die cut my sentiment and added it to the tag along my adorable cubbies image and added a branch for my birdhouses to stand on. I used enamel dots and stickers to decorate around my image. I replaced the letter "O" in the word home with a heart that I die cut with the heart die from the bookmark die set and colored the inside red with Copic shad R29.
I then placed my tag in the metal ring of my Art Journal.
The inspiring challenege got me excited and I created a flowery Bookmark using our Bookmark Dies set and Ai Home & Heart Set.
I stamped the beautiful flower bucket from Home & Heart set on a Bristol Smooth White Paper using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my Mini Misti. I then colored the image using my Copic markers.
Copic Shades:
Greens: YG23 YG25
Blues: B21 B45
Pinks: RV13 RV09
Yellows: Y08 Y38
Greys: C2
I then cut my image and backed it with foam tape.
To create the bookmark base I die cut the biggest die from Bookmark dies from flowery pattern paper from my stash and then again die cut it from white paper and glued them back to back to make the bookmark base sturdy.
I again die cut the bookmark extra banner from white paper and attached my flower bucket on top of it and added my sentiment. I then attached both bookmark pieces together with a layer of foam tape. I placed eyelets with my Crop-a-Dile on the banner and the bookmark base and added a cute ribbon.
