Payments for graphical products or services are only one-off payments. I adhered my colored panels to A2 card bases and that created my super simple one-layer birthday cards.Opal Management reserves the right to change prices of products or services at any time. Still, the blend wasn’t perfect, but I kind of liked that blotchy coloring, it went with the rest of the coloring style on this card. That temporarily changes the color of that lighter marker allowing you have a better blend. You want the darker marker at the top so that the darker ink goes into the lighter ink marker. I did that by kissing the tips of the two markers. The YG00 and YG93 do not blend together at all, you can see these two colors just don’t work together, but I managed to do the blending by adding a touch of the YG93 to the YG00 marker. I used YG93 and YG95 for the hat, and then YG00 and YG93 for the balloon. Next, the party hat and the balloon were colors muted green. There’s that balloon string wrapped around the cat, so adorable! To emphasize it, I used a light gray W1 marker to add subtle shading under that string. You can follow that stamped detail and also add in your own. ![]() The image of the cat has some detail added, telling you where you can add the spots. I added spots of colors and I didn’t do any blending. You can be really creative, even though the ground or the object the cat is sitting on isn’t stamped, we can definitely create the illusion of it using our coloring mediums.Īs for the cat, I didn’t color her completely. ![]() Instead of grays, you could use other colors, maybe green to mimic grass or yellow or pink or purple to have the cat sitting on a rug. I first added a shadow to help ground my kitty and for that, I used warm gray colors – W5, W3, and W1. I used the mini MISTI stamping tool and Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp these kitties. But you can use it to make a card base and do your stamping directly there. I like to save this paper, so I don’t make card bases using it, I just cut this paper to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2” panels, stamped on the panels, did my coloring, and then just added that panel onto a regular A2 card. Also, this paper is fantastic if you are making a one-layer card because the marker doesn’t bleed to the other side of the paper allowing you to have a truly one-layer project. This is my favorite paper for stamping and coloring with Copic markers and that’s what I was planning to do for these cards. I stamped this image onto Simon Says Stamp 130lb cardstock. This cat also reminds me of one of my Mom’s cats, her name is Simona and she is super chubby and lazy and full of character. ![]() I love how the cat is a bit chubby and that balloon string wrapped around him or her adds just the perfect touch. When I first saw this stamp set, I couldn’t help but smile and I thought: “Hey, this image would make the perfect focal point for a birthday card for any cat person out there”. I am using just one stamp set – Purrfect Birthday. One-layer cards are super fun because they are easy to make and even easier to mail. ![]() Today I’m going back to simple, one-layer stamping to create masculine Birthday cards.
