Hey everyone! I'm up over on the Neat & Tangled blog sharing this card today featuring my new Have Courage set.
I so love the look of coloring on kraft, so I stamped the small ginkgo leaf sprig three times on kraft with white pigment ink. Then I proceeded to color the leaves in with my Prismacolor pencils. Really easy here, just two colors, I went in first and filled in with the light and then added details with the darker color.
You can get a wonderful texture from colored pencils that I think really adds a lot to foliage images.
Once the coloring was done, I die cut the springs with the coordinating dies and arranged them around my sentiment. The sentiment is from the Calathea set and was embossed in white onto a circle.
I fiddled a bit with the placement of the sprigs. My original plan was to create a circular frame around the round sentiment piece, but I ended up pulling the sprigs out a bit to create a more organic arrangement, plus I like the bits of white that peek through amongst the leaves.
That's all for me today. Hope your week is going well!
