This fun image by Unity was stamped and colored with copics and pencils. Sponged with "I don't remember what" but most likely distress inks. The tree branch is a Penny Black then colored the berries with Cosmic shimmer paints which I was thrilled to find out these watercolor paints are opaque . When I matted the image on Reich paper I was THRILLED to learn if you pour Un-Du on the mat, cut to fit the image, it not only causes no damage to paper at all and evaporates quickly, but allows ATG tape to move when you place it down. Yahoo! For those of you like me that place it crooked, this is a wonderful discovery thanks to a woman at our convention! it's safe to pour directly on your card and allows it to move for a few seconds. Think I will order a case of this stuff! Thanks for looking.

Can u increase your order of one case to 2 cases? I'll split the cost. Boy, do I ever need to look into that. All my cards and die cuts are always crooked. I love this image. you've colored her and your bg beautifully. you are such a great artist.

Nancy didn't you get the memo about using stuff I don't have!!
1. Cosmic shimmer paint
2. Reich paper
3. Un-Du
4. This Unity Stamp
You do realise that this gorgeous mini work of art is going to cost me serious money - I bet the paint comes in lots of colours. Thank you for adding to My Favs list yet again dear friend.

Gotta love that Un-Do stuff - I was petrified to use it the first time, but my fears turned to joy when I realized there was NO damage to my card!!
As you always do such wonderful coloring, this image is no exception! Love the soft coloring and the detail in the branches with the shimmer paints! Likewise your stitching always brings a special element of texture - you continually amaze me with your beautiful cards!
