Yesterday was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Aloha Card. :o) I had some Internet connection issues and could not post this yesterday.
To make this card I used stamps from a GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles 'Hibiscus' stamp set.
How I made my card...
With some masking, I stamped gorgeous hibiscus flowers on a white watercolor paper. I made masks when I received the set and stored them for my future projects. So handy. :o)
I colored gaps among flowers with black marker. Then I watercolored hibiscus flowers in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. At the end I smeared one flower. Awful!!!
My first idea was to recreate a card I created for our latest blog hop (here), but with smearing that was impossible. I didn't want to throw away everything, so I tried something different. I fussy cut hibiscus flowers and cut away smeared portion. Using kraft knife, I cut out gaps between flowers (I previously colored them in black).
After fussy cutting, I traced edges with a black marker, glued some foam on the back of the hibiscus flower cluster and glued it on a white square card base, on which I previously stamped a sentiment. I glued a white cardstock panel inside the card to make it a bit sturdier.
As a finishing touch I drew white highlights and dots on flowers with a white pigment ink. :o)
Card dimensions: 95 mm x 95 mm (3 3/4" x 3 3/4")
