Do Not Worry – Graciellie Designs

Hi everyone… I hope you are doing well and are adjusting to all the changes that are happening around us. It is so different to be home everyday and not go anywhere unless I have to (grocery store). I am enjoying my time at home with my family, my card making hobby, and I even got into the garden today! I hope you are doing well and healthy! Today I am sharing a beautiful new release from Graciellie Designs… Do Not Worry. This set is beautiful, 2 beautiful images, as well as 7 inspirational sentiments. I hope you will check it out, as well as the sale on her page! Gracie is kindly offering a free gift with an order too! You can see it here, this set is free with a $10 purchase!

I started by printing my image on Canson Mixed Media paper. This is a light weight paper, I don’t use it too often, but I wanted to give it a try. When I use a water based marker on digital images I like to set my card panel aside for 24 hours to ensure it is dry and ready for me to color. This set was so fun to color. I used both images from this set and I layered the one floral branch behind the bird. I used my Tombow dual brush pens to color my images. I used several layers of color on each section.

Once my coloring was complete I did add some colored pencils to the nooks and crannies as well. I also used a black Sakura Micron pen to add more details to the stamen of the flowers. This paper is thin and I don’t use it too often. I did find using a light touch with my markers and my water brush, the color moved really well. I wanted to try it as the paper is thinner and so much easier to print on. I will use it again for sure! I set the panel aside under heavy books for the night to flatten out. Then I cut the panel with a Gina Marie designs die. I adhered the panel to a kraft card panel, then adhered it to my card base. This card was all about the coloring, all one layer. I hope you enjoy it and be sure to check out the new release at Graciellie Designs. Be sure to visit her website as well, so many amazing and beautiful stamps on sale!

Enjoy your evening friends! Crafty Hugs,
