Hummingbird Copic coloring + tropical background ~ card tutorial

 Combining hummingbird Copic coloring with a pretty stamped background makes card making easy.  Today, on the Unity blog, I am sharing a way to add color to the bird while keeping the background stamping simple.

Sentiment:

You brighten my day.

So happy to have you in my life.

For this card, I added hummingbird Copic coloring over a palm background of the month color cardstock panel.  The combination of the sentiment kit with the background worked perfectly together.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for making this card with hummingbird Copic coloring.  To begin, stamp the palm background onto smooth green color cardstock using black ink.  Also, trim or die-cut the background card panel.  Next, stamp the bird and the two sentiments onto white cardstock, using Copic friendly ink.  Then, trim or die-cut the bird panel to fit over the background piece.  Next, add color to the bird panel in bright shades using Copics or your choice of color medium.  Also, make a flag accent by trimming and adhering three small overlapping flags.  Finally, assemble the card layers, to finish.

Here is another look.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
