Blog Candy and a SNEAK PEEK!!!!

Hi! thi scard was made for today's Sketch Challenge. It also fits this weeks Stampin' B's Challenge. It also fits the Red Divas Challenge.

This is a new image that will be released this Friday night called Christmas Bouquet!

I LOVE this set, as it's really easy to color. The image was inked with VersaMark and then inked with Palette Burnt Umber. Next, it was stamped onto Wonderful Watercolor Paper and embossed in Clear.

I used Palette ink re-inkers and an aqua painter to color this image.

Finished card size: 4 3/4" x 6"
Total time to complete: 22 minutes

All papers, inks, embellishments and these new images from Flourishes will be available Friday night at Mark's Finest Papers.

RECIPE:

Paper: Mark's Finest Papers: Wonderful Watercolor Paper, Deepest Mahogany, dp: Basic Grey
Ink: Palette Inks: Burnt Umber
