Colored Essence


Well, I've wanted to try coloring this image with markers for a long time. I finally took that time this morning. I colored the image with the markers and huffed on it to moisten. The layout was a freak accident. Remember I am trying to Home school my 5 kids at the same time I am designing my cards. It was not going so easy this morning....I finished my image and measured. When I went to cut the Ruby Red trim I cut it wrong...so I decided just to use it and turn it sideways. Another error I made...I intended to use the Not Quite Navy since I do not use it very often. When I went to stamp the butterflies down the edge I grabbed the Night of Navy. Oh well! Despite all of the re-creating I think it turned out fairly well.
Stamps: Essence of Love
Paper: Naturals White, Not Quite Navy, Ruby Red
Ink: Old Olive, Not Quite Navy, Night of Navy, Ruby Red
Accessories: Hodge Podge Hardware, Old Olive Wide Grosgrain
