Z Fold Valentine Card: Valentine’s Day Card Series Day 4

January 24, 2022

Hey everyone. Sorry for the delay of the card series. I wasn’t feel well for a few days. Thank you for your understanding. Okay today’s card is a fun an easy Z Fold card. I’m using products from My Favorite Things for the tutorial card and the bonus card. The color palette was pulled from the MFT Sweet Plaid 6×6 paper pad. I love when I can use my pattern paper to pull colors from. It makes creating a color combo so much easier. Here is the first card I created in the tutorial. I love how easy it was to pull this Z Fold card together.

 

This is such a happy color palette. And I think it would work great for spring cards too.

 

 

 

For the bonus card I used the same paper this time I pulled more of the teal into the color combo with light ink blending. The center heart is made from the Heart Extraordinaire stencil set. As for the sentiment, I used the You Are So Loved stamp also from MFT.

Now this is a super cute card you can make and mass produce by just switching out the pattern paper.

 

 

 

You can watch the tutorial here or you can visit my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. All products used are linked below by an affiliate link at no cost to you.

Thanks for hanging out with me today. I hope I have inspired you today with my cards and color palette.  See you back here for another Valentine’s Day card.

Mix Media Valentine Card – Valentine’s Day Card Series Day 2

January 18, 2022

Hey everyone. Welcome back to day two of the series. We are working on mix media valentine cards. Mix media really scares me for some reason, however in today’s tutorial I’m going to embrace it the best way I know how. Ink and water will do the trick. The term mix media is really just using different mediums to create something pretty. So that can be anything from ink to paint to glitter. As long as you have at least two different mediums, you have mix media. Really simple right.

I’m using Hero Arts Hero Hues today as I know they work well with water and create beautiful cards. As I was working on this card I really loved how I was able to create texture without using any thing more than the ink, water and a piece of acetate. I paired up the pretty background with a bold print stamp, a few dies and a simple sentiment.

 

Mix Media Valentine Cards

The soft color of the background works so well with the lines of the Hero Arts Chained Linked Fence Bold Print stamp. Also the Chain Link Fancy Die is the perfect addition to the card for a little bit of raised texture.

Adding a touch of silver to my card with silver matte cardstock for my lock from the Locks Fancy die set from Hero Arts as my center piece on my card. Pulling in all the ink colors for my sentiment keeps my color palette flowing.

I have a couple bonus cards for you as well to show you how else you can use the color palette. This simple colored gradient heart made from Hero Arts glitter cardstock, Hero Arts Infinity Hearts die and the same color inks I used for my background take on a totally different look.  Keeping the background simple with an embossing folder makes the heart stand out even more.

 

 

And why not use one more medium today. I pulled out my Copic markers to color in this adorable image from Woodware Craft Collection called Valentine Gnome. I have to say, I’m pretty smitten with this card. The Copic makers colors used are:

 

E11, E13
R32, R43
BG02, BG07
Rv13, RV21
Rv19, RV99
T3, T5, T7
Prismacolor Pencils for added depth

Pixel Grid Your Valentine’s Day Cards – Valentine’s Day Card Series Day 1

January 17, 2022

Hey everyone. Today is the start of the Valentine’s Day Card Series. The tutorial today is showing you how to use the Ink Blot Shop’s Pixel Grid with Pixel Grid Masks stencils. I think this stencil pack is soo very cool. I paired this stencil with the Sentiment Label Blocks stamp set. The color palette is chocolate with a splash of red and pink. There is also a bonus card using the same color palette with Copic markers.

 

 

Here is the card I made using the Ink Blot Shop Happy Mail Heart with Copic markers. The color palette is still the same just the medium has changed. The Copic makers I used for this card were R35, R46, R11, R21, E25, E27 and W02. I used the same Distress Oxide colors for the sentiments

 

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll be back tomorrow with another tutorial and color palette. Have a great day everyone.

Easy Alcohol Ink Backgrounds – Valentine’s Day Card Series 2020 Day 5

January 17, 2020

Today’s card is full of Valentine’s Day inspiration.  The large sentiment on this card was all I needed to make it stellar!  And who doesn’t love a touch of shimmer and sparkle on a card?

The striking oversized love die cut from Waffle Flower was PERFECT for today’s card.  A simple yet beautiful way to finish off a alcohol ink panel.

Watercoloring With Color Pencil Accents – Valentine’s Day Card Series 2020 Day 4

January 16, 2020

Hey everyone.  Did you know watercoloring with color pencil accents can make your coloring pop?  It’s the perfect way to add depth to your images with very little effort.  Also the new Atelier inks from Ink On 3 are the perfect medium of this technique.

As you will see in the video these inks are vibrant however they can also be muted down just by adding more water.  Also watercoloring and adding color pencil over the top keep you from overworking a painting.  I think you will really enjoy exploring this option when coloring.

Watercolor with color pencil accents

Working on cold press watercolor paper can be challenging for some.  Adding just a touch of color pencil helps to define the lines of your images a little better.

 

 

Here’s a quick tutorial.  You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.  I’ve used affiliate links for your convenience at no cost to you.

So what do you think?  Would you give this technique a try?  Let me know in the comments below if you have any questions.  Thanks for stopping by today.  See you back here for Day 5 tomorrow.
