Okay, I had a little trouble with this technique. I stamped in Perfect Medium and used the embossing powder, no problem. But the white ink I used for the white wash, was not archival and would come off when I tried to color with Copics. So I added more white and then used chalk to add color. Lastly I added glossy accents and the hexagon brad.
I enjoyed this technique, but know to get some different white ink for next time. Thanks for taking a peek!

That is some fabulous shading on your pears! WOW on the coloring! I even love the white speckles, intentional or not- they look like highlights! Beautifully done, Kathleen!

It may have given you trouble, but the outcome is fantastic! Love the way leaves look, in particular, and the hexagon brad on the corner where you trimmed back the layers. Great idea!
