Our inspiration site this week (IC515) has this lovely fall image: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/60517188718061759/
and I thought it was time to use my Penny Black stamp again. This time I used my new Zig Real Color Markers for the first time - Yea! I also stamped it a little differently in that I still used my MISTI and colored on the stamp one section at a time (spritzing it with water before stamping) but this time I let the layer dry first and dried off the sections of the stamp that had gotten wet from the spritzing (but that I was not adding new ink to). This helped the image to have more definition, I think. Splattered diluted ink of the same colors (along with white acylic paint and Delicata gold pigment) with a paintbrush. I love how bright the zig watercolors are - it makes the whole scene brighter than when I used distress inks HERE. Used gold foil cs for the sentiment and also a thin strip along the edge of the cs border. Such a cool stamp!

What incredible color!! I think the illustration that inspired you card is just such fun.......I love that you made it a special Autumn scene, almost with the pointillism effect. Just beautiful, Maura.

I thought your card looked familiar. Went back and looked at the one you did a few weeks ago. I like the contrast and more vibrant colors that you did this week. The MISTI technique for watercoloring sounds intriguing. Your card is SUPER!
