Paper Rose Hummingbird Garden

Hi again.

I'm back with a project for Paper Rose Studios featuring the Hummingbird Garden stamp set.

 I wanted to create a bright and tropical look for this set of cards.

The hibiscus flowers are coloured with Copic Markers using rich and vibrant colours.

 I especially love how the reds on the flowers turned out.

For this card I have coloured and die cut all the stamped elements and layered them onto a background of blended distress oxide inks. 

The background colours are tumbled glass and broken china. 

I have heat embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder.

For this card I have stamped and masked the flowers to overlap them, I have then coloured the layered flowers with Copic markers. the sentiment " beautiful" and the hummingbird are die cut and layered onto the background.

For this card I have used a very old technique called mirror stamping.

To do this you stamp out the image onto a piece of acetate or a smooth surface, I have used an actual mirror stamping surface.

. You then take that stamped out image and you press that onto your paper like you would a normal stamp.

. This flips the image so now my hummingbird faces the other way.
