The Good Life

If you follow my cards, you know that Copic markers are my first choice to color with for my cards.  I do try to branch out, probably not often enough, but a little.  Today's card is one I sent to my nephew's sweet wife for her birthday and I'd like to share it with you today. 

I used the Penny Black Blushing image of the single rose on black watercolor paper with metallic water color paints for this dramatic effect. 

I stamped the image using white ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.   The metallic paints were new to me, so this was quite the experiment figuring out the color combinations.

If this technique is new to you, the amazing thing is to complete the painting and tilt the image in the light.  The reflections of colors are amazing ~ even when they aren't perfect. 

The card was sent with lots of love to Arizona as this young lady has certainly made life good for my #1 nephew. 

Happy Birthday Kelani!
