Hugs – Rachel Vass Designs

Hi everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a good start and this post finds you doing well! I am back sharing a new release from Rachel Vass Designs. The newest release is adorable and contains floral jars, you can see the set here in Rachel’s ETSY shop. I chose to work with the Eucalyptus Jar stamp to create a CAS design.

I started by working with my image in Microsoft word. I do all my editing here for my digital images. If you need any help, I am happy to help! I wanted to create a slim line card using this jar. Once my image was sized I printed my images on Canson Mixed Media paper. I have found this paper to be awesome lately when working with digital images, I can color shortly after printing and it can take layers on color too! I used my arteza brush pens for my card today. When my coloring was complete I added 2 embossed stripes on the right hand panel of my card using Rose Gold powder from Ranger. I did leave off small sections of powder to create some added interest. I then added splatters of gold and brown to my card.

I chose a Hugs sentiment die from Simon Says Stamp and cut this 3x on black card stock. I glued them together for added dimension and embossed them using the same Rose Gold powder. I then adhered my card panel to a black slim line card base and glued down my hugs sentiment as well. I added a sentiment from the new release as well to the inside of my card.

This completes my card for today! I hope you will visit Rachel’s ETSY shop to see this new release, plus many other beautiful stamps!

Supplies Used:

  • Stamps: Jars Stamp – Rachel Vass Designs
  • Coloring Medium: Arteza Brush Pens
  • Paper: canson Mixed Media Paper, Recollections 110 lb for card base
  • Other: Ranger Embossing Powder – Rose Gold, Metallic Water Colors

Have a great weekend! Crafty Hugs,

Natasha

  3. gorgeous slim line card. I have still need to try out Digital images. What type of printer do you use? Is there any issues with ink smudging if coloring with copics?

    • Hi Kulbir! I have heard that an ink jet printer is great for markers and a laser for water color. I have an older epson work force which is I guess more of a pigment ink. So I have used both, alcohol and my water based markers.
      I usually wait 24 hours before coloring so I don’t worry about smudging, if I use Neenah or bristol paper.
      If I use the canson mixed media I have found I can color right away.
      Let me know if I can help!
      Thank you! 💛
