It has been a while since I pulled out my copics so this weekend I decided to work on my blending skills. I also tried a technique using the colorless blender I have been wanted to do for some time now. I used this super cute image called Daisy from Sugar Nellie and stamped it using memento ink. I colored her jeans first then pulled out a jean patch I had bought a while ago. Using my colorless blender refill I wet the jean patch and then laid the patch over the jeans, pressing firmly for a couple of seconds. When you pull up the patch you get the jeans pattern on your colored portion. Love this technique, very cool.
When I was done, I masked her off and airbrushed the sky then added grass. I wanted to add some bling to my image so I pulled out my rhinestones and added them and some Smooch top coat to the flowers. It still needed more sparkle so I used my stickles to outline the nesties shape. It really makes it pop off of the Melon Mambo cardstock by doing this. I used my embossing folder to emboss half of the white cardstock. To finish off the card I added some satin ribbon and some pink rhinestones. The sentiment is from the Tiny Tiny Wishes stamp set.
Happy Stamping and Scrapping,
Ronda
