Hello, everyone! It's May here sharing a couple of one layer cards. When I hit a creative block, I tend to reach for a stamp set which includes various little images. This time I pulled out my favorite stamp set from the latest release: Garden Grow.
I made a set of congratulation card with the sentiment from Baby Zoo. I inked it off each time when I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo black ink so that I achieved the light outlines.
Then I only colored a part of each image with Copic markers to support the sketchy style background. Here is the Copic marker colors I used: BG13, RV13, YR12, BOO, EOO.
I’m sharing a quick video tutorial showing you how to make my card. You can watch the tutorial here or in HD on Altenew Youtube channel:
