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. 

Hopefully, you were inspired by this bright and colorful Citrus Trimmings Friendship Cards. I had so much fun designing these. 

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

If you have already begun the Blog hop you will have arrived here from my friend Galina's Blog. I will fill you in on where to go next at the end of the post.

CARD DETAILS

For my card today, I have chosen to do a no-line floral watercolored card using the new FARM FRESH FLOWERS stamp set. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen a peek of this coloring last week in my stories.

To begin I stamped out the images using fadeout ink and then colored them in using Arteza Brush pens on Bristol Paper.

Next, I die cut my pieces with the FARM FRESH FLOWERS DIES and glued them together then foam mounted it onto the Buffalo Plaid Background I had created for the card front using both the BUFFALO PLAID stamp and the BUFFALO PLAID COVERPLATE.

To the inside, I just added a simple sentiment from the FARM FRESH FLOWERS set.
