Not a Tilda, not a Copic

In a few stolen moments today I found some time to create one more card. My time for stamping will be very limited if at all over the next few days, as we anticipate the arrival of the kids parents some time tomorrow. I decided that my Gorjuss girls were sitting on the shelf never being inked because of my insane obsession with Maggies. So I pulled one out and thought I would give water coloring another whirl. I used Marvey Markers and a watercolor brush.


So, here is my little card:



It's quite a different experience using the water color technique. I've grown so accustomed to the Copics and the way they move on the paper, that water coloring was a bit of a challenge.

Here is a closer view of my image:



I used Water Color paper, Elegant Eggplant, Certainly Celery, and Art Impressions stamps for the grass and flowers.
