-The image is watercolored using artist brush and liquid ink.
-You can find directions HERE on my blog for the out of the box tutorial using a guillotine style paper cutter.
-A paper perforator was used to tool distress the image layer.
-A plastic stipple brush was used to speckle the image panel edges.
-I used a white gel pen to add a little light reflection to the apples and vases, however it shows up in real life much better than it does in the photo.
-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used to color the envelope image
