No sketch to go with this card, as it's a very simple one! I was playing around with a new stamp and just couldn't get the colors right on it. That cherry blossom pink was just not working for me!
I tried:
Markers
Painting with my waterbrush and ink
Watercolors
and all combinations of the above!
I ended up staying with a mix of different markers and colors to get the final result! I did add a bit of sparkle to the centers with a stardust pen.
The back ground is stamped with the cherry blossom stamp in versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder. To add some interest, I cut some pink ribbon in 1 inch strips and looped/folded it under the main panel and the sentiment.
Supplies:
Stamp - Cherry blossom by Delta (40% off at Joann's)
Sentiment stamp - Studio G
Markers - Tria light brown alcohol marker
- Bubblegum pink, victorian rose and leaf green from Marvy LePlumme II
Stardust gel pen
