I am learning a few new tricks with my photo editing program - thank you youtube (what a great resource!) - I just have to learn how to read instructions to the finish, as I do tend to rush in with excitement :)
Todays card was made using the weekend sketch from Paper Craft Planet. I've stamped my main image using Palette Burnt Umber and coloured with Copics. I am never sure about shading around an image so always tend to go very lightly, so lightly sometimes that you can barely see it, but not today! As a novice of these wonderful markers I have a lot of fun experimenting, because I really don't know how it will turn out.
I've used this lovely image before, and you will find it in the Growing Gratitude set from Our Craft Lounge. I cut and embossed the image with Spellbinders circles, and layered it on to SU! Always Artichoke and So Saffron.
I pleated the grosgrain ribbon - cafe latte - and used Mini Glue Dots to secure. The Dew Drops are Pearls that I coated using a matching Copic marker. Colouring them this way works well, although the colour isn't as smooth as I would like it.
Thank you to everyone who left a comment over the weekend as well, I love to hear your thoughts! The random number chosen this month is 7...thanks Tamara! Email me you address, and yours will be the first to ship when they arrive this week.
