I began by coloring this stamp a bit at a time with various Memento and Tombow markers using many shades of red and only coloring a bit at a time. Pulled muted greens from both sets of markers for the leaves attempting to leave some lighter spots for shading. When finished the coverage is not
as solid as I liked it so worked it with Prisma pencils.
I stamped the sentiment from Season's gift with Versamark and embossed with Brutus Monroe fine detail gold. Spattered with ink from a marker, then sprinkled with white chunky embossing powder and heated. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm entering this in Penny Black's Blog challenge which you can find here.
