CARD DETAILS
If you follow my blog and Youtube channel you might have seen these two projects I shared in September using WPlus9 newest Christmas Rose Bouquet set. I adore this large floral cluster and find it a perfect one for creating extra special Christmas cards.
Today I wanted to share a simpler, easier to make version of the two projects I posted on my blog earlier. I started working on this card by heat embossing the bouquet image from the Christmas Rose Bouquet set onto WPlus9 Coal Mine cardstock in Platinum embossing powder. I also added a heat embossed “Joy” from the Hand Lettered Holiday set. I usually prefer to use Gold embossing powder (or Antique Gold), but since I was using grey paper for my background I decided to switch things up as bit and went with Platinum powder instead.
This time I decided to use Prismacolor pencils (I wanted to try using other pencil colors and since I have a full 150 set of Prismacolors I picked this brand of pencils for my project, although I prefer to use Polychromos pencils from Faber Castell) and did very basic, beginner coloring. If you actively follow WPlus9 blog you might remember some of the pencil colored projects I shared in September – Emerald Leaves Background and Indigo Leaves Background.
I made note of the colors I used in case you’d like to CASe this project.
- Greens: Chartreuse & Limepeel; Prussian Green & Dark Green
- Reds: Permanent Red, Crimson Lake & Dark Purple
- Whites: Peach Beige & White
- Grays: 70% Warm Grey & 50% Warm Grey
Once my coloring was done I outlined the image with a 70% warm grey pencil and blended it out with a 50% warm grey. Next, to smooth out and soften the gray coloring I went over it with a pencil eraser and erased a lot of the pencil.
I trimmed my panel to 4 x 5 ¼”, inked the edge with embossing ink and heat embossed it with same Platinum embossing powder. Finally, I foam mounted my panel onto an A2 Coal Mine cardstock panel.
