Framed Fruit Basket

Hello Friends
Today I want to share a project I made for a friend. The stamp image used is from Penny Black and colored with copic markers. It doesn't show very well in the photo but there is a soft buttery yellow airbrushed background. I used clear AtYou Spica pens to add a touches of 'light' to some of the highlights which I think really brings it to life.
The matte was dark blue until I altered it with Glimmer Mists (Cinnamon and Wild Currant) and Radiant Rain (Snapdragon). After I spritzed the colors on I used a sea sponge to keep the color from running in unwanted directions. Once dry, I sealed with a glossy sealer.

Here is a close up. The little butterfly isn't part of the stamp. It was added later to cover up a spot where I dropped my marker tip. Of course that boo-boo happened when I was close to finishing the image. Gotta love a good save!

Hope you have a mistake free stamping day!

Hello Friends
Can I tell you I've fallen in love with coloring again?? My daughters are just having a blast with me... and yes, I'm letting them use my markers (the nibs are pretty durable). Here is another image colored with Copic Sketch markers. I've had this stamp by Penny Black for some time (it might even be retired now) and love the drawing style. I did a little more blending of markers right on the paper and worked one little section at a time (ex. one leaf at a time). I'm feeling better about how I can layer these colors as I'm practicing more.
Copic colors used: YR23, E35, E47, Y17, Y21, YR07, R17, R59, BV000, V15, V17, BV08, YG03, G07, G28, G99, B24, W3
Have a fruitful day:)
