Welcome to my studio! I have 2 cards to share today made with the same digital stamp Tulips In a Hobnail Pitcher from Power Poppy. I was inspired by the Vase shown in the challenge at The Card Concept which has a patterned design. I did something that I never did before and that was to "paper piece" a digital image since I wanted to have a patterned vase on my card. Through the magic of Photoshop Elements, I was able to use digital paper and fill in a section of a digital image before printing the image. The digital paper was actually a file I made by scanning patterned paper from Shabby Rose Collection by Our Daily Bread and I used a section of that paper to piece in to the vase of the digital image. I included a close up of the vase below. Now that I figured this out, I can use any digital paper to fill in a portion of a digital image... this is easier than printing an image on patterned paper and then fussy cutting to attach to a printed image to do piecing.
I printed the paper pieced image twice on heavyweight white card stock to make the 2 cards.
For the top card, I colored the image with Copics and trimmed the edges with a corner punch. With Memento Gray Ink, I stamped an appropriate sentiment for the time we are living in........ found this in Power Poppy's Sassy Succulents set. Completed the card with a Gray Woodgrain card base (also inspired by the challenge photo) that I made with a Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Scor-Pal, Gray CS, and white ink.
For the second card, I added some blues flowers to the printed image using a Hero Arts stamp, blue ink, and masking. I used different Copics to color the image but used the same sentiment. Finished with a Blue card base. I am not sure which version that I like best but I do like the addition of the blue flowers.
I really like how well the pattern on the vase turned out. I even surprised myself a bit accomplishing that. A close up view of the vase:
