- Stamp Scape image colored with Colorsoft pencils on matte paper. This was a small bit of cardstock that folded to make a 3.5x3.5 square card. Birds drawn with a Copic black multiliner pen, and white gel pen for highlights on trees and rocks.
- card base covered with some Paper Studio DP with center die cut using a square S/B die. The first opening frame didn't look 'just right', so using 2 sizes of the square S/Binders, die cut another frame. Bottom portion of the frame is covering up the reflections & ripples I attempted in the water, but also hides the ragged edges of the picture on the sides.
A sentiment will be added at a later date.
Been a while since I tried using pencils. Sometimes I get very discouraged trying to blend with pencils! But I try again at another time after I've seen something on a blog that was done with pencils and looks so great. I know it takes practice...
Have a great afternoon, and thanks for your visit. We're still working on the basement reorg project. Hugs
Your colouring looks great, Mary!! That is such a lovely, peaceful scene and you have given it such a lot of depth with your colouring. Love how you've done the frame. Very nice card!!
