I only purchased three Shin Han Marker colors, so I could try them out before taking the plunge and buying more. I love them and they are wonderful to work with! So yes, I will be investing in more colors, but for now I just have the three. I'd decided to buy colors that I could use to make Christmas cards, so I got a red, green and blue. But for this project I wanted to make something that wasn't a holiday card. So...I designed my card using the Fabulous You Stamp set.
I'm not much of a coloring type of person, but I want to learn! And I think with this type of art, the best thing is to learn by doing, the more you do, the better you get. I need more practice, but this is what I was able to do this go-round.
I started off by using the painter's tape technique to establish a background with Flaxen and Glacier ink on Glacier card stock. Then I stamped in black and colored.
When I went to assemble my card, I wound up using Snowhaven papers. Even though this collection is 'snow themed', I think the colors went well with my stamped piece. Then I finished it off with baker's twine and some bling.
Now "Hop" on over to Carol-Anne Grenier's Blog to see her work. Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!
