Visible Image "Lilies with love" Birthday Card

I've had to push myself to craft ,as I have several occasions where I need to make and send cards coming up.  This one is needed next week.

From a previous project I was planning, I had stuck a square of patterned paper on to a  7x7" white card blank, so I decided to use that as my base.  A bit risky as I wasn't sure of the quality of the paper and how stamping the ink on to it would be:  would it bleed etc?  Fortunately it took the ink fine.

I used the new Visible Image "Lilies with love" stamp set for the central image, adding extra circles from the Visible Image "You are not alone" stamp set, all stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.

I then added the "Happy Birthday" sentiment, which is part of the Hobby Art Ltd stamp set called "Greetings for friends CS158D", also stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" ink.

I used three shades of Derwent Inktense pencils (Spring Green, Fern and Fucshia) applied with a paint brush to colour the image.  I added some touches of orange Posca Pen to the middle of the lilies and finally added some white dots of Ranger "Enamel Accents".

Day 4 #thedailymarker30day colouring challenge with Visible Image "Live In The Moment" stamp set

It's Day 4 of #thedailymarker30day colouring challenge.  I've decided to use Visible Image products for my project.

I started by using three Distress Oxide Inks to create the background:  Antique Linen, Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio.  I then lay the Visible Image "Fibre" stencil over the top and added a further couple of shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean.  Next, I splattered water droplets from a fan brush to break up the colour a little. 

I stamped the large sentiment next using the Visible Image "Equality, Hope & Love" stamp set in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.

Next I stamped the dotted circled which are part of the Visible Image "You Are Not Alone" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Paradise", which is a mid blue coloured ink.

I then moved on to the dragonfly.  The stamp is part of the Visible Image "Live In The Moment" stamp set, which I stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" ink.  I then stamped the dragonfly again on an off-cut of white card.

Using the dragonfly image on the white card, I coloured it in with a selection of Signo Glitter and Sakura Gelly Roll pens.  I then fussy cut the wings and adhered them over the dragonfly image on the card.
