Embossing Folder - Script by The Paper Studio
This is the great sketch we started with.
I did something a little different with this card and used London Fog Memento Ink stamped on to a very light pink paper instead of the usual Tuxedo Black and white paper. It gives a very different look when colored, my daughter thought I'd colored the image with chalks and couldn't believe that Copic markers could look this soft. I thought it went well with colors pulled out from the patterned papers. And finally I airbrushed the white flowers with a soft pink to make then match perfectly.
I hope you like this and will come over and play with us at The Pixie Cottage this week.
