Single Layered Floral Friendship Card by Bri Firth

Hello Ai Fans! Today I am sharing my creation for the Border Challenge. For more information on this challenge check out the announcement here. My project features the new WC Lily Border stamp set which is a really fun image to color! I also created an assembly video so make sure to check that out too! This card is also featured on my personal blog today, check it out here! 

I wanted to make a simple card where the main focus was the stamped WC Lily Border image. So I first stamped the image onto the white card base using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the image again onto some Masking Magic paper to create a mask to place over the image for ink blending. I used my Copic Sketch alcohol markers to color the floral image. I used RV29, RV21, RV11, and RV000 for the pink areas, I used C2, and C4 for the white shadows, and I used YG61, YG63, and YG67 for the greenery. I stamped the stamens in the center of the flowers once I finished my coloring.  

Next, I placed the lily border mask on top of the colored image to protect it from the ink I used to make a textured background behind the floral image. I used the Comic Dots stencil from Kindred Stamps and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to blend the small circles in the background. After I finished ink blending I peeled the lily mask off of the card base. The Gina K. Designs Masking Magic paper is awesome to use because you can re-use the mask multiple times!

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment "Friendship Blooms from the Heart" from the WC Sentiments stamp set with Versafine pigment black ink.
