Canadian demo Allison Okamitsu's beautiful creations first popped up on my radar when I came across this beautiful Advent Box project. So I'm really excited to be in a blog hop honouring her.
I chose this card of hers to CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit, in this instance) because I loved the coloured-in vellum. Here's my card based on hers:
Fiona's Notes:
- The little bumblebees are stamped on one side of the velum and then coloured with markers from behind. This creates a stand-out black with subtler colours coming through the paper.
- The little heart accent is clear so I stuck onto Daffodil Delight cardstock then snipped it out and stuck it on with glue.
- Although it's hard to see in a photo, I ran my new Wink of Stella pen over the black cardstock behind the sentiment. When you see the card it shimmers subtly and really makes the sentiment stand out.
Stamps: Baby Bumblebee, Itty Bitty Banners Inks: Stayzon Black Papers: Whisper White thick, Blushing Bride, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Vellum Accessories: Stampin Write Markers, Itty Bitty Accents, stampin dimensionals, Wink of Stella pen
