Basically, you stamp in white craft ink on dark card stock and then use your colored pencils to color and highlight over the stamped image.I used this leaf image (SU) and several shades of green prismacolor pencils. The white dots are done with a Sharpie paint pen, which helps to highlight the image. The sentiment is from The Angel Company and its stamped in Memento ink on a piece of wallpaper. Yes, you read that right - wallpaper. I have two whole books full of samples that I pull out from time to time and rip out the fun papers to use in cards and scrapbook pages. The designer paper in the background is from DCWV and the green cardstock is from Bazzill.
The main image and the wallpaper are cut out using rectangle nestabilities. I decided to use the black photo mounts to anchor everything down.
