Clematis – Alex Syberia Design

Hi Everyone! I am so excited to be a guest designer for Alex Syberia this month as she has a BEAUTIFUL new release! I have shared a couple cards with you already and today I am the guest on Alex’s blog! http://alexsyberia.com/ Be sure to visit Alex’s blog for amazing inspiration from many other guests, as well as Alex herself! Her cards are beyond AMAZING! I know you will love them! I have been such a fan of hers and her AMAZING coloring, that this is truly an honor for me! Today I am using the new Clematis stamp. You can find this set in her shop (as well as so many others). https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlexSyberiaDesign

I love this stamp set and it was a lot of fun to color. I wanted to create a monochromatic color palette for my first card.I printed my image on Bristol smooth card stock. I chose to work with my zig clean color brush markers for this design. For my floral image I used light pink and wine red. For the leaves I used a variety of shades of green, as well as added some highlight areas using yellow. I have been working to add more dimension to my cards using colored pencils after my image is dry. I used a variety of pencils in darker pink and green tones in the nooks and crannies.

In the center of the flowers, I used perfect pearls powder in gold. I then chose 2 different sentiments for this card. The first sentiment (thank you) is from The beautiful Blooms stamp set from The Gray Muse (illustrated by Alex Syberia) and the (Love you Friend) sentiment is also from The Gray Muse, Happiness Blooms. I stamped these both and heat embossed them with white powder on black card stock. I then used foam tape to adhere these for added dimension. I chose a couple clear sequins for added sparkle.

Supplies Used:

• Stamps: Cleamtis (Alex Syberia Design), The Gray Muse
• Paper: Bristol Smooth Cardstock
• Coloring Medium: Zig Clean Color briush markers, colored pencils
• Other supplies: Clear sequins

Thank you so much for stopping by! I am so thankful for Alex for this opportunity! Stay tuned… I have 2 more cards coming soon from this release!
