Enchantment


Nice of you to stop by the blog today. I have taken a little break in my Christmascards, or at least in the planning of my Christmascards, and played with this beautiful image by Meredith Dillman plate 98 (which is currently on sale, wohoo) Besides ching chou this is one of my favorite illustrators so I was happy to ink this image that I haven't played with before.

I'm so superpleased with how it turned out, especially the coloring. I used oilpencils and a rubbing medium. I've struggled long to get the glow in my images, so I was over the moon of finally succeeding.


The sentiment is from ching chou kuik's plate 38. It is stamped with distress ink as are the edges of the image. Papers are from prima.


Hope you got inspired by my card today and that you'll come back tomorrow for another project using sweetpea stamps.
