Citrus Trimmings Friendship Cards | Studio Katia


 
Citrus Trimmings Friendship Cards | Studio Katia

Hello my sweet friends!

Today I am sharing a couple of colorful Summer inspired Citrus Cards. I had recently colored the images during Kathy Raccosin's Daily Coloring Challenge and thought they would make some fun Friendship cards.

CARD DETAILS

Like I said I had previously colored the CITRUS TRIMMINGS images in, but before I colored them with ARTEZA BRUSH PENS, I stamped them out onto Bristol paper and heat embossed the lines using gold embossing powder. Once the images were colored and dry, I fussy cut the Citrus images out.

Next, I created the backgrounds. On this first card, I chose 4 different color cardstock that matched the colors of the oranges I had colored. I then stacked, rotated, and flipped a few of the layers to end up with this colorful lattice-like background. I then glued them all together and attached it to the front of the card base.

I then popped up the Orange Citrus trimmings in the center of the card using FOAM and then stamped out the sentiment onto a tag I die cut from the PEONY TRIMMINGS Die set. I then finished off this card using BUBBLEGUM and RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS.

For the Lemon/Lime version of the Citrus Card, the process was pretty much the same with a few exceptions.

This time I only used two colors of cardstock to create the background, and I glued the Citrus Trimmings along the bottom of the card without using foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment on to a banner from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 and adhered it in the center of the card using foam tape. Finally, to finish this one off, I added GOLD FOIL PEARLS.  I also added some glossy accents to the center sections of the fruit, but I didn't like how it lost the detail of the watercolor painting I had done, so I did not add accents to the previous card. If you look closely you will see the difference.

Grapeful for Your Friendship Card | Studio Katia

Hello Sweet Friends, I am up on the Studio Katia Blog today!

I have been dying to play around with this gorgeous Citrus Trimmings stamp set for the longest time and today I finally get to share my results. As you may know already if you have been following my work, I love all things rainbow so I thought I would use that as my color inspiration for this slimline citrus card. Gahhh, isn't it so pretty and yummy looking!?! Summer can't get here soon enough!

CARD DETAILS

To start, I began by cutting a watercolor piece of paper 9 X 5 inches. I then stamped out one of the Citrus Trimmings stamps along the bottom of the panel using watermark ink and then heat set it with gold embossing powder. I then took the other citrus stamp and slightly overlapped the image with the previous one and stamped it out again with the watermark ink and sprinkled on the gold embossing powder. This time before I heat set the powder I took a small paintbrush and brushed off any of the overlapped embossing powder that transferred on to the previously stamped image. This just avoided masking the first image.

Next, I used Mijello Mission Gold watercolors to paint in all the images in. Since they were heat embossed it made adding water in the wells super easy to color in as it prevented color bleeding to occur. I began with the purply pink color on the left which I like to think looks like a blood orange fruit and then ended the watercolored citrus edge with the limes. As you can see I added quite a few layers of color to the images to add dimension and texture to the fruit. To do that I simply allowed each layer of color to dry before adding more color.

Once the images were all colored in and dry, I added some splatters of color using the same colors I painted with. I then trimmed the card panel to fit on to an 8.5 x 4-inch slimline card.  

On a piece of black cardstock, I stamped out the sentiment in white pigment ink and heat set it with white embossing powder. I then used the small frame die from the Dotted Patterns Set 2 to die cut the sentiment. Since I wanted the sentiment strip to cut smaller than the die itself I lined it up with the top of the sentiment first and then die cut it again lining it up with the bottom ensuring that the dots all lined up before running it through the die cutting machine again. This is a great way to stretch out your dies and add that extra dotted detail around sentiment strips.

I then finished off the card by gluing on Dazzling Celery, Radiant Pinaple, and Summer Fusion sequins to the card front.
