Welcome fellow crafters and flower lovers to my blog, I want to thank you for stopping by and sharing a part of your day with me. This month I was inspired to draw Marigold N' Berries Digital Stamp Set for my Etsy Shop. The rich colors of the "Beautiful Blossoms Mood Board" for this month brought these images to life...
Suggested card size is 5"x7". My Marigolds 'n' Berries stamp set can be found on my Etsy Shop.
I started this image using the Berry stem.
Mirror reversed the image, sized it to 7-3/4"
and angled it. I drew a whiteout block on
the lower 1/3rd of the stem. Then use the
Marigolds 'n' Berries image, size to 8-1/4",
angle slightly over the stem as shown.
Print on Hammermill® 100lb. White Coverstock.
Color your images as desired. I chose to use
Copic® Markers in the "Beautiful Blossoms Mood Board" colors.
Marigold stems and leaves:
G12, YG61, YG63, BG18
Marigold Flowers:
Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19, R37
Berries:
BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18
Berry leaves:
G12, BG70, BG72, Bg75
Cut the image to fit a 5"x7" card front.
My secret to finding the right portion of
an image I want to use is: I cut a 5"x7"
rectangle window in the center of a piece
of cardstock and move it around until I
am satisfied and lightly draw the rectangle
around the image I want to use. Then cut
it out. I keep it hanging next to my desk
for quick access.
About 1" in from the right edge using a lead pencil, lightly draw a guideline.
Using an X-acto knife, carefully cut around
any parts of the image to the right of the line.
this is to enable you to slide your border die
under.
Depending on the border die you chooseto use you may need to re-align and cut
from other end in order to cut the full 7".

Embossing® metal dies from my stash.
