Welcome! I've spent quite a bit of time this school year at the local library with my son. Something that I can always take with me is a set of Copic markers and a few things to color. One of the images that I took along today was this stamped image from Papertrey Ink's Winter Hills set, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink of PTI's Kraft cardstock.
I used the Copic markers shown above to color the image, and then I added some white colored pencil for highlights. (Click for a larger image. When you color on a midtone or darker cardstock, you cannot get highlights without adding a white medium. Copic ink is transparent. It will tint darker cardstock, but it will not lighten the cardstock--hence the white colored pencil as a LAST step. You do not want to use your Copic markers on top of the colored pencil; the colored pencil needs to go on at the end.)
Patterned paper is PTI's Enchanted Evening Bitty Dots. I used Vintage Cream ink to stamp the sentiment and to edge the Enchanted Evening cardstock. I tried to find a place to put a ribbon, but it just didn't work out--the simplicity seemed to fit the image anyway, and as a bonus, it will be easy to mail! Thanks for visiting today.
