May is finally here! With our self quarantines, doesn't it feel like April was a year long. Here in SC we are still quarantined for two more weeks. Whatever it takes to be safe I believe we will be a better nation through this.
Today I am here to share from Jan's Digital Stamps Design Team. I selected May Flowers for my project card this month.
I picked this one not only for the beautiful flowers, but I love the antique metal door plate and crystal door knob. It made me think of visiting friends and family in May!
For this card, the flowers on the door knob is a very long image. I sized this one down to just under 6". I also took the separate image of the hanging keys and added it under the flowers on the front of the basket. I printed the sentiment 'Hello May" separately so I could make a tag.
I used my Copic markers for coloring and a stitched rectangle die for cutting afterwards. I mounted the image on a 6" paper, turning it 'corner to corner', then trimmed off 3 of the points.
I covered a 6" card base with the deep blue-green solid paper, then added a mint green doily and then the colored image. For the finishing touch, I added three mint green enameled dots.
I hope that you will check out Jan's Digi Stamps and also join the monthly blog challenge.

What a super unusual digi stamp. I have lots and lots of real stamps but I never seem to have the time to use them with along all the other crafts I do so I really enjoy seeing what everyone else is doing with their stamps.

Beautiful card design, Pam, and I adore the doily. Great coloring and your work on that vintage doorknob is perfect. WOW!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Pam! And your idea hoe mounting the image on the 6x6 paper and then trimming the corners is brilliant!!! Love the results!
ReplyDeleteHow very pretty! I love the flowers hanging from the doorknob- reminds me of growing up and the doorknobs that were common! Love the doily accent- so very delicate and pretty. Beautiful card!

A very nice card with an original design. Thanks for joining our challenge at Stamping Sensations. Marlies
ReplyDeletePam, I love that you chose to showcase "MAY FLOWERS"... When we were kids, we made paper baskets and picked garden flowers to fill them and hung them on doors of people we liked to celebrate spring and planting .... We would also do the May Pole Dance.... I know..... I'm old! Ha!
ReplyDeleteGreat card!
