For my card, I stamped the image on white cardstock with Versafine Vintage Sepia ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I use a fingertip sponge dauber-thingy and Stampin' Up! inks to color the image - kind of going for a watercolor look. I used Soft Suede, True Thyme, Buckaroo Blue and Baja Breeze. I matted with Soft Suede cardstock and drew the birds with a Soft Suede marker.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
Great coloring style for this image!! I have to admit that any kind of coloring scares me to death! LOL!! I really need to just dive in and start practicing and see if I can do it.
