 Γεια σας, είναι Vicky here and welcome to the second day of my week featuring many black stamps. Today I will be using this gorgeous bouquet of flowers which is called elegance and I am going to stamp it on a white cardstock by using my mento toxido black ink. I am going to stamp it once and just because I want to add a little bit of dimension on my card I am going to stamp the flowers once more. To color your flowers you can always use your favorite type of coloring. It can either be your alcohol markers, your watercolors. I decided to go with my Prismacolor pencils. I am going to keep the flowers mainly white but at the center of the flowers as well as where the shadow falls. I am adding a little bit of orange. So first of all I am going all over the flowers, decide where the shadows are. Adding a little bit of my color there. Then I am going to blend it using my Gamsol. What I love about using my Prismacolor pencils is that I can add all the shadows whatever I want to without being in a hurry. The Gamsol is going to do the work, they never dry just like alcohol markers do. So I am dipping my stamp tool in the Gamsol and I am just spreading the color. Once I was happy with the orange shadow I went ahead and added just a touch of light red to deepen the shadows. This time I am using a thinner tip stamp tool and as I am blending out the red color I am not going as far as I did with the orange color. I will get asked how I choose the correct coloring method for my images. Well there is no right or wrong and just because I have all those different mediums to color I like to switch from one to another so that I can give all my products some love. But you really don't need to have all those coloring mediums, you can just go with your pencils or with your alcohol markers or your watercolor whatever really you have. But if I had to choose one of the methods I would definitely go with my Prismacolor pencils and that's because I feel that I have more control and that the whole process is more quick and easy than using my alcohol markers. One thing is for sure I am not a Copic girl. For the flower stamps I did not do any type of blending, I just used two different colors of green since they are so thin and I am doing the same thing for the bow. I'm just using two different shades of red and once my image is ready I am going to color two more flowers from the second stamped image and that's because I am going to use my scissors to cut them out and in the final card I am going to pop them on top of the others by using foam squares. Once those flowers were cut out I am using my black brush marker to go around the edges to get rid of that white edge and this is going to give the illusion that I have cut out the image perfectly. To cut out the main panel for my card I am using a rectangle die on an angle and I am not going to cut it all the way towards the top but instead I am placing it only half on my Cizix die cutting machine. So only the bottom of this panel is going to cut out. I am going to use my scissors, first I am using a ruler with a pencil and I am going to draw a line on a diagonal and then I am going to fold the line with my scissors to cut out my panel and follow the lines of the flowers. So this is going to make a nice and interesting panel for my card where the flowers are going to look as if they are popped up. You can see how my main panel turned out and I have another panel which is exactly the same size. I have cut it out with the same rectangle die and I am going to apply a little bit of ink. I am using my blending tool with Distress Ink and that's Shabby's others. I am applying the ink on the top of the panel where this is going to show and also I am blending a darker color of Distress Ink now and the darker color is going to stay mainly behind the flowers. So for my sentiment I am using this stamp by Penny Black which is called Special Thoughts. It's a set of beautiful sayings for your cards and I am going with the sentiment that says you are special. I am going to stamp it with Black VersaFine ink and I like this ink for stamping my sentiments because it's nice and vibrant. When you use a stamp for the first time it's always nice to stamp it once or twice on a scrap piece of paper. So my main panel is ready now. I am going to use some foam squares at the back and stick it on top of my panel. And while I am doing that just to let you know that as always we can find the full list of all the supplies that I am using just below the video as well as on my blog. So the main panel is ready now. I am going to pop up the set of flowers that I have cut out again with foam squares and you will see that the finished result is going to be really dimensional with all those flowers one on top of the other. I am going to turn the card for you so you can see all the dimension and for my card base I am using a top folding card that's a standard card that's 4.25x5.5 I am using my tape adhesive at the back of the panel and I'm going to stick it at the center of my card and that was the project for today I hope you had fun and got inspired and if you did don't forget to leave me a comment as well as give me thumbs up or my youtube channel here are some close-up photos of the card and if you need more inspiration here are two more videos where I am creating two cards using again many black stamps thank you all for watching
