Welcome! I had some fun playing with Papertrey Ink's Cover Plate Mighty Bloom die, combined with the Inside and Out Well Wishes stamp set and my Copic Airbrush System. First I die-cut the Mighty Bloom in three colors of PTI cardstock: Terracotta Tile, Orange Zest, and Summer Sun. I wanted my bloom to be darker near the center and gradually lighten toward the outer edges, so I kept the darkest cardstock in the center and the lightest on the outer edge.
Since I wanted the transition to be gradual instead of in three distinct colors, I used my Copic Airbrush System and a Copic YR18 marker to airbrush the edge of the Orange Zest and Summer Sunrise pieces of cardstock. Shown above is what it looked like before I removed the negative shape that was keeping my pieces in place.
I wasn't sure if I liked this card better with a simple line (top view), or with a cotton string (this view). What do you think? Thanks for visiting today!
