I saw this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge and immediately knew it called for big blossoms! I have so many floral and nature stamps that pretty much every sketch calls for flowers, truth be told.
Stamps: Technique Tuesday
Greeting: Gina K
Embossing: Darice
Other: Copics and Stickles
It's hard to see the subtle glitter stickles. I have loved this product for as long as I have been doing paper crafting. The patterned paper is from Michael's (?) and was just laying there waiting to be used as a color palette.
Confession: I have a love/hate relationship with Copic Markers. I've had mine for probably going on 13 or so years. I jumped on the bandwagon when it first hit the road. I took a class to get certified. I see all the stunning colored images and I just can't seem to be able to get the same results. I'm not patient or disciplined enough to do daily practice. So it isn't my go to way to color. I actually prefer to use solid stamps with colored ink, but I have a gob-ton of stamps that are to be colored in...because, hey, copic markers, right??? Today I wanted a subtle look to lighten my mood a bit. so I just decided to pull out a few markers and make it very light, follow the accent details of the image and just let it go and be happy enough with the outcome. And YES, my markers are 13+ years old and I haven't found one that has dried up yet.
Here's the sketch!
