Thinking of You Card with No Line Coloring

 Happy Wednesday crafty friends! Today I'm sharing my card using the beautiful On The Line: Succulents stamps and Honey Cuts. I've done some no-line coloring too, and set the scene with some paper from the beautiful to 6" x 8-½" Marvelous Moments paper pad. Check out the details!

First I stamped both succulent images from On The Line: Succulents in Bee Creative No-Line Coloring ink onto 80# Neenah cardstock.  I used my MISTI to stamp them 2-3 times to darken the ink (hey! My eyes aren't so young anymore--LOL!)   It's been quite a while since I've done no-line coloring and it's a technique that I really enjoy! I used these Copic markers to color the images:

  • Pink tipped succulents: V01, G24, G21, G20, RV13, RV10
  • Bluish green succulents: G19, G16, G02, G000
  • Dark green leaves: G29, G07, G05
  • Succulent sprigs: YG17, YG25, YG21

Here's a really close-up photo of my coloring:

I used my Bitty Buzz Cutter and the coordinating Honey Cuts to cut them out. There is an actual line that stamps with the succulents, and there was no way I was going to try using a Copic marker for that. I looked through my Prismacolor Pencils and found that the 70% French Grey color was just right. I just used a ruler and then drew the line.

Then I stamped one of the several sentiments included in the On The Line: Succulents set with Intense Black ink. I absolutely love that there are coordinating dies for the sentiments, and used the coordinating one to cut it out.

Next I chose some paper from the Marvelous Moments paper pad. I absolutely love the new size of 6" x 8-½"!! This size is large enough for 5" x 7" cards, slimline cards; and as I've done here, I only needed one sheet of paper! I trimmed my chosen paper to a piece measuring 4" x 5-¼". I used the reverse side of the remaining piece of the paper and trimmed strip to 2" x 4". I adhered these to a top-folding A2 card base.

I used foam tape to adhere the succulent images and sentiment to my card. Then I used a few of the sparkly gems from the Marvelous Moments Gem Stickers to add some bling!

I love how this card turned out! Other than the coloring time, it came together in a snap! I have more ideas for this On The Line: Succulents set such as a gate-fold card, a step-fold card, and I'm sure there are other ideas too!

I sure hope I've inspired you to give this gorgeous set a try. If you check my Instagram later today, I plan on posting a reel to show some of the process for this card. Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!

  3. Hi. I love your work. I’m past empty nester, I’m in retirement. Haha. Reason for comment: I live in Farmers Branch TX. I was wondering if you live nearby? I have another lady I met online and she visits about every three months. We have become great friends. So when I see someone is from TX, I always ask what part. I am handicapped and a shut in for the most part. So I need all the friends I can get. (Teasing). But a friendly note is always welcome. Keep up the beautiful work. I am on INSTAGRAM linda.crowder
