Tutorial One-Layer Garden's Edge Flowers: Hello!

Hey everyone!

Stephanie here with you today on the LDRS Inspiration page to share how I create a garden-inspired scene using the latest Summer collection!

I've been in a strange place over the last few months, not sure whether I wanted to pick up my markers or read a good book. But once I received the 

Summer collection and especially the new Garden's Edge Slimline stamp set, I couldn't resist jumping back on the wagon.

Before even getting to the coloring part, I had in mind to create a one-layer project that included both the images and the sentiment. To achieve this, I took out my Chloe Alpha Uppercase stamp set and started placing the different letters on my stamping platform on a piece of A2 white coloring cardstock. 

TIP: I find it easier to start by stamping the first and last letter to see how much space I have for the other letters. Of course, I used the Raven hybrid ink and the Stampendable tool to get a crisp, dark stamping every time!

Next, I stamped the second and second-to-last letters quite close to the first stamped ones, ending with the middle one, to create the word "Hello".

Once the sentiment was done, I placed the flower border from the 

Garden's Edge Slimline stamp set on my stamping platform in a way that featured only partially the flowers I wanted to color at the bottom of the panel.

And I mirrored the flower border at the top of the panel as well. 

Once that was done, all I had to do was to start coloring all the beautiful flowers with my alcohol markers.
