For this week's From Start to Finish layout I wanted to show how to create a one-of-a-kind stamped embellishment colored in with Copic Markers for a scrapbook layout.
Copics + stamping are super popular in cardmaking and I want to show how you can use these markers on scrapbook layouts as well.
For the flower, I first stamped the image on smooth white cardstock (make sure the cardstock you're using is preferred for Copic coloring. I used my favorite Neenah Solar White Cardstock.) using Memento Ink (also a preferred ink for Copic coloring). Then I stamped the Hero Arts Ledger background stamp over the entire thing to give it a more "natural" look instead of a stamped image on plain white paper. This makes it look more like an image cut from a floral patterned paper, etc. I colored the image in with Copics, outlining the flower with C1 Cool Gray for a subtle shadow and then used a Coluzzle to cut it in a circle shape before mounting on additional patterned paper circle and sewing to my layout.
I used Kerri Bradford's On The Edge digi die cut kit to cut a notebook edge on this 6x6 piece of Basic Grey Ledger paper. Then I ran the paper through my printer adding the journaling and stamped "love you" from Ali Edwards's Love Always Wins Stamp Set using Chewing Gum Ink (Jenni Bowlin). I love highlighting certain words in journaling by adding stamped text.
The photos are 4x6 & 3x4.
I sewed Doodlebug buttons over parts of the paper strip border beneath the photos. I did the same thing on THIS layout I shared on Monday. I love repeating techniques when it's something that worked really well. Because I don't scrap chronologically, the chances of two layouts that look similar or that have a similar technique landing side by side in an album is not very likely.
The repeating "love you" border was stamped with another image from Ali's Love Always Wins Stamp Set. I used a sheet of smooth 12x12 white cardstock to stamp the border. I find that you get a much crisper, cleaner image with smooth cardstock opposed to textured cardstock.
Colorful layers, stamping and embellishments complete the layout.
