Welcome! I'm working on cards for the next MFT Stamp release right now, so I can't show those just yet; but I do have a couple of "this and that" items to share! With one more set of New Copic Workshops to teach in Dallas (June 9-10) before Summer vacation, I'm still adding projects to my class notebooks. Today's project is an illuminated letter for my Hand Lettering portfolio. I had searched for "Floral Illuminated Letters" and Floral Monograms" on Pinterest and found so many pretty inspirational pieces that I knew I wanted to try a floral illuminated letter. (Want some Inspiration? Check out Megan Wells on Instagram!)
Before I show you my process, I wanted to tell you that Sherry is the winner of the Copic Sketch Pad and Doodle Pack Giveaway--you can find Michelle's post and contact information HERE if you are Sherry. :-}
After finalizing my artwork and cleaning up a couple of stray lines in Photoshop, I printed two copies on X-Press It Blending Card so that I could layer some of my flowers. I decided that the lower right corner needed another flower as well, so I just colored an extra flower like the one on the bottom to layer on top of the greenery there. (Yes, you've got to love foam mounting squares!)
Here I have attached one of my flowers with X-Press It Foam Mounting Squares. I left the other three turned upside down so that you could see the foam mounting squares; if I can fit a full 1/4" square in an area, I usually use a while one. But they are easy to trim down if I don't need a whole square too. I'm a foam mounting squares fan. . . One of my Copic class mottos is "if you can't fix it with Colorless Blender, there's always foam tape/squares!"
Here is my finished illuminated letter--all ready for Dallas! ;-) Thank you for visiting,
