Disney Princess Jasmine Card

 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's project is my second card for the latest Incy Wincy Design's September Challenge. In case you don't know yet, the blog is taking a break until the end of the year. Might as well make the most of this month's challenge since it will be a while before I create something as an Incy DT member.

Our challenge theme is Colors of Autumn +/or Not a Square or Rectangle. We have two sponsors for this challenge. I am using an image from one of the sponsors which I linked below. 

Coloring Jasmine with Autumn inspired colors was quite a challenge. I had to research the internet on this. I found a blue Jasmine photo which could pass for an Autumn color. Not your typical Autumn color but it should work. 

I colored Jasmine with Copic markers. I used the 0 marker to achieve a sheer look on the overlay over her pants. My other challenge was coloring her hair. Creating layers in black is tough for me but the key is to always go light-handed. It is always darken a lightly colored image and harder to lighten a dark colored image.

I fussy cut the image leaving a white border around it. 

For the panel, since one of the themes is Not a Square or Rectangle, I created an oval panel. My oval die is too small to fit Jasmine so I used an old tool, an oval Curvy Cutter. Yes, I still have mine. I also have this tool in a circle shape and a square shape. The blade is a bit blunt from age and use. To somehow sharpen it, I ran the blade on an aluminum foil a couple of times. The blade does not become very sharp but sharp enough to not warp the paper as the blade passes through it.

I created a background for Jasmine using a marbled blue patterned paper and a orange glittered patterned paper. 

I cut a larger oval using a light brown cardstock. I adhered a cream lace trim on the edge of this oval piece. I adhered the blue/orange panel to this, then adhered Jasmine. I decided not to put a sentiment to keep the focus on Jasmine.

I added shimmer to the sheer pant overlay using a clear shimmer pen. I added shimmer to the lamp and Jasmine's jewelries using a shimmer gold pen. I tried capturing the shimmer on photo. I added Ranger Glossy Accents to the gems of the crown, necklace and the pant trim.

I cut another oval on the same light brown cardstock. I scored this at 1/4" from the top. I applied strong liquid adhesive to this flap, then adhered this to the back of the decored panel. Now, I have a shaped card.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you like today's card. Please visit the challenge blog, add a link to your project, and leave some encouragement to the team. I will miss Incy a lot especially YOU, its creative followers. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
