Watercolor and Copics w/Kelly ft. Just For You

Hello Crafters! Have you been checking out all the amazing inspiration using our newest release?

I'm in love with all the florals! Come on Spring!! Since I'm over Winter. So over it. I wanted to create a colorful Spring card today and I thought the new Just For You stamp set would be perfect for it.

love these sweet girls. I just picture them as sisters for some reason. I thought that it would be really pretty to put them in a field of flowers but I wasn't feeling like masking.

Sometimes I just want to color. Know what I mean?

I decided to watercolor the background so there would be no masking required. I also die cut our new Floral Border Die twice from watercolor paper in order to make it look like the girls were "in" the field.

I used distress oxides to do my watercoloring and was really happy with how soft they dried. Once the piece was completely dry I used my copic markers to color the girls. I always love the contrast of a soft background with the bold detail coloring of copics.

You can watch the whole card come together in the video below.


Watch above or watch in HD at YouTube

Even though the sentiment didn't work out how I had originally planned, I was really happy with the way the card came together.

The added dimension of the die cuts at the bottom of the card gives the design a fun whimsical feel to me. Though you could definitely leave them off and have a super pretty one layer card. Which do you prefer a one layer or a multi dimensional card?

Thank you so much for visiting today!

  1. Kelly this is fantastic. I love to watch you colour, regardless of what medium you use but I have to say, while I am still learning to work with Copics, right now I do enjoy those videos the best.
    I would prefer to make more one layer cards but unfortunately I am not talented enough to be successful with too many of those! I may start out with good intentions but I don't like wasting my supplies and often have to layer to cover up my previous mistakes! LOL
