I went with a very fall-ish color palette because the colors this time of year (and the cooler weather) make my heart happy!
I decided to color on kraft cardstock, which produces a more muted result. The leaves were stamped in a random fashion on the panel, leaving room for the sentiment, then colored with Copic markers. All the stamping was done with Gina K Chocolate Truffle Amalgam ink, which is Copic friendly.
With the coloring complete, next came the ink blending, which was done around the edges of the panel, leaving a center "glow". I didn't want to trim down the panel, so I adhered it to a card base measuring 5.75" x 4.5" and called it good. When I go to mail it, an A6 size envelope will work perfectly.
With so much going on in the world right now, for me (as I'm sure for many) it helps to remember all that I have to be grateful for, including you, my crafty friends! Thank you for taking time to stop by and please take care!
Hugs,
Stef
