-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used to color the image using the Gamsol technique. Baby oil replaces the Gamsol/mineral spirits.
-The Faux brads are circles from a tag Cuttlebug die that I glue to the card – the perfect brad every time! I use the CB die because it rounds the edges like a real brad. These are very easy to pick up with a straight pin dipped in glue then touch the back of the circle and it’ll pick it up, now place it on the card by pressing down with the finger – it will allow you to move if needed before the glue dries.
-Plastic stipple brush was used to add texture to the green and marigold.
