I am a big fan of Newtons Nook Designs. Their stamps are just the cutest and are always my go to stamp when I am looking to make a card. I wanted to make a card for the Inky Paws Challenge this week. The challenge this week is a color challenge and these colors are one of my favorite combinations.
For my card today I wanted to try something a little different. I have seen on other cards where they actually use their copic markers to color the background.
I used the stamp set Peony Blooms for my card. I started this card by stamping the image on each corner with my Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and used clear embossing powder on top of the black ink. This gives it a raised effect and makes it easier to color in the lines. The sentiment I stamped and fussy cut out.
These were the copic colors I used on my card. I sure used alot of ink coloring the background. It also gives a different look to it. I want to try black next time and really make the image pop. I used a white gel pen to highlight the lighter parts of the flower.
I hope you enjoyed my card. I sure had fun giving a different technique a try.
