Hello Stampers~
Happy Monday to you! Can you believe Thanksgiving is THIS week?! I guess that means the holiday season is officially upon us.
I work in retail management; so you can imagine how much I am looking forward to it all. {grin} Funny thing is, I prefer to do most of my shopping from the comfort of my home...in my jammies while holding a steaming cup o' joe. Now that's what I call a pleasant shopping experience! haha
Today's sample is made with JustRite's A Day in the Country set. It's one of their new cling sets. You can check out all the new cling sets (and many more) at the Stampers Dream store. I went with a brown-on-brown-on-brown look for this one, letting that beautiful image do all the talking. ;)
I used my Houndstooth Embossing Folder for the background, and sponged on some Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink to really make it pop. I did the same with the Beaded Oval Nestabilities layer I added below the image.
The brown pearls were all different colors when they started...left-overs from my stash. I simply colored them all with my E49 Copic marker. That always makes me so happy!
Here's a close-up of the card:
I colored the image with Copic markers...lots and lots of them. Here's what I used:
Now, before you pass out, let me just say that you most certainly do not have to use this many markers on that one rather small image. I have a bit of a thing for shading...in case you haven't noticed. haha You could seriously get by with less than half of these, and still have a beautifully colored image. I promise!
For an added bonus, I stamped up the inside of the card with JustRite's Give Thanks Nested Frames:
...very simple, but effective I think.
Okay, friends, that is all from me today! Enjoy every moment of your day today!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
~Cindy
