Hello again, blog friends ~
I can't resist inking up some of my new stamps, so I'm playing along with a few challenges...First up is CASology, and this week's Cue Card is 'Candle'.
I colored this magical dragon with Copic markers and added a touch of WOS to his wings. I used vellum for the candle flame (colored from behind with Copics), then gently inked a few clouds in the background. The Wonky Stitched Rectangles and Soft Stone card base seemed perfect for this design...and that was it!
********************
My next card is for the current challenge at the SSS Flickr Group, and the theme is Make it a Happy Holiday. Of course, I'm way behind on my Christmas cards, so I created this card:
I used an old SSS stamp set for the snowflakes, and inked them up with Versamark for a tone-on-tone effect, then embossed the sentiment with Liquid Platinum EP. To color the inside of the letters, I used a dark blue Inktense pencil and added some WOS for sparkle. I like the CAS feel of this card, so I think I'll be using this design for mass production ~
Have a great weekend...Thanks so much for stopping by,
