Inspired by Series | Lisa Mensing | Glowing Stencil background and white space within Copic coloring

In 2020 I started a series on this channel and I wanted to share who inspired me and how I use that inspiration in my craftroom.

I've featured four really wonderful artists so far in this series. I love to find inspiration in other creators. I watch YouTube videos as a second hobby, I think. I've watched lots of creators go from relatively unknown to I can't believe you aren't a subscriber known!

This month I wanted to focus on Lisa Mensing. I've been watching her since she started her channel and had the opportunity to meet her in The Collective Creators Group. She is featured on the Honey Bee Stamps Design Team and she posts videos often with tips, tricks and inspiration.

She has a way of making card making look so simple and easy. And the way she explains things make me think I can do all the things, she builds my card making courage, for sure.

I'd encourage you to check her out if you have not yet subscribed, I'd really encourage you to do so. She has a lot to teach.

Here is the link to the video I was inspired by and reference in the video: Simple Thank You Card featurign Copic coloring

Confused about why I named it all Delaney Jane Cards if my name is Renee’?

This entire thing, shop, YouTube channel, blog, etc, it is all named after our angel daughter who passed away in 2013. I made her some promises when she passed away. I would spread joy, I would make her proud and I would speak her name daily. This is one way we choose to honor her memory, and help me keep my promises. Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate those of you that take the time out of your day to spend a little with me.

As I always say,Give Cards Generously,-Renee'

Joy Clair Designs | Spring Floral Basket | Feel Better

Hi Everyone and welcome to day two of the Joy Clair Designs May 2020 release hop. You should have come from the amazingly talented Donna Idlet and your next stop is equally talented Linda Gorman. Yesterday I featured another set, Cup of Joy. Today I wanted to focus on one of the images from the set Spring Floral Basket and make it a focal point.

I picked this daffodil image and made it as large as I could for this A2 size card panel.

I die cut the background panel using a Sunny Studios die and backed that purple panel with simple white cardstock. I felt like this was just enough detail for this beautiful floral.

The flowers were colored with Copic markers. I finished the card off with a wink of stella glitter pen over the yellow on the flowers.

I added some black thread and some black sequins. I really tried to make the flowers jump off the card front.

I'm excited to see what the other designers created for today. SO far, I've been so amazed with the creativity on this team.
