Hi there!
(please scroll down for my Uniko guest designer post 👇)
I LOVE succulents and the beautiful picture at The curtain call challenge inspired today's card.
With the help of Kim's AMAZING sketch at Freshly made sketches I came up with this design:
A closer look:
My 'succulent' is a flower design by Jennifer Wambach, Design ID #116961 in the Silhouette store.
Because of the scale and the intricacy of the flower, I chose to use the black fill option and use it as a digital stamp. After printing the image with a laser printer, I colored it with my Zigmarkers .
Using a laser printer ensures that the printed lines doesn't smudge when you add water.
Medium weight watercolor paper also goes easily through the printer. With the Zigs you also need just a little bit of water, so the 220g paper is just right!
I added my favorite butterfly, cut with the cameo and colored by smooshing it with Zigs and spritzed water on a piece of acetate.
Thanks for looking!
Have a great day!
Hannelie

A great idea to use the design as a print and cut Hannelie. Love the 'smooshing' too. Super card.

ReplyDeleteI love this, Hannelie! Fabulous take on the inspiration photo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Hannelie love the design and that wonderful flower and soft butterfly
ReplyDeleteSeriously? I had no idea that laser printer ink won't smudge! Thanks for the fabulous tip! Hmmmmmm.....might be doing a wee bit of printing at work cuz our home computer is a 'vintage' ink jet type!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your cool 'succulent' and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your resourcefulness. Not one bit surprised though that you effortlessly morphed a flower into a succulent!!!
