Hello Ai fans!
Fall is coming! It's my favorite season because of the colors of the turning leaves. I really miss seeing that here in Florida, so I make up for it with my markers! I used the Floral Birdhouse Popcard set to make a vintage fall card. I also used the Popcard Template because it isn't included in the set, but it is needed to assemble the card.
A piece of Strathmore watercolor paper was cut to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and distressed with Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. The Crafter's Companion Ornate Square Frame Die was cut from the top portion of the rectangle. Another rectangle was cut from matte gold cardstock and attached to a cream card base. Just the center portion of the ornate die was cut from the frame to reveal the opening to the center of the card. The watercolor piece was attached to the card base. The greeting and butterfly from the stamp and die set were attached to the bottom of the card
The images were stamped onto Strathmore watercolor paper with Versamark Watermark ink and Vintage Gold embossing powder was applied and heat set. The images were colored with Marvy LePlumw II Markers. The colors are listed at the end of this post. The images were cut using the matching dies that came in the stamp set. The Popcard Template was cut out of a piece of acetate. It's easier to use because it slides together better. I followed the directions on the package to put the card together making sure that the pop card showed through the window properly.
Marvy LePlume II Colors Used:
Birdhouse - Rosewood 30, Ochre 13, Brown 6
Flowers - Wine 63, English Red 28
Birds - Laurel Green 32, Turquoise 14
Leaves - Olive Green 15, Butterscotch 83, Red 2
Birds - Laurel Green 32, Turquoise 14
Leaves - Olive Green 15, Butterscotch 83, Red 2
