Well, I have a wedding card, now all I need is to find some one getting married. This is my DT card for Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge #61-Weddings. This digi is absolutely adorable and was a real pleasure to work with. I scored the background card at 3/4" intervals in both directions and added a Martha Stewart pearl to each intersection. I had seen this score and embellish technique used a couple times before and absolutely loved it. Here is a link to one of the cards. I colored the happy couple with copic markers and added lots of pink and white flowers. The leaves and boughs were punched with a Martha Stewart punch. I thought a sentiment on the front would have made it look too busy. Her dress and veil have dots of glitter applied and the ruffles are done with glitter. the close-up shows the glitter a little better. The corners were done with a Sizzix punch.
Here is a link for a tutorial of how to do the scoring: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/grid_technique/ I don't own a scoreboard so I did it a little differently. I marked off three quarter inch sections along all four edges on the back of my cardstock. If you use a 6X6 inch square this works out perfectly. Then I drew lines diagonally to connect all the marks. I put this cardstock on my paper cutter fit with a scoring blade and carefully scored all the lines. There have been many, many times that I pressed a little too hard and cut through the cardstock. The pencil marks are on the backside so you don't see them. For me it was much easier if I actually had pencil lines to follow.
Copics: C1, C3, C5, C7
E00, E02, E15, E17, E34
G09
R11, R22
Y21, Y35, YR31

Your coloring is fantastic, and I love the lines on the card. I know what you mean about being careful. Only I do it on a card that's about finished and then I have to cover it however I can find. LOL. I don't know if you can get Martha Stewart things, but she has a score board that's only about $12. Hugs, dj
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous sweetie. Love the ebossing and the gorgeous pearls and you have coloured the image to perfection.
