The theme this week at Red Rubber Designs is Father's Day. The stamp set I used today is Mountain Scenery and patterned cardstock is Willoughby.
I tried a new {to me} Copic technique this week. Can you tell something is different? I stamped the image with London Fog Memento Ink rather than standard black. It definitely gives the look of a painting, rather than an outline colored in - don't you think?
I used 2 of the images from Mountain Scenery, the mountain range and added the small open tree on the left for more forest foliage. Then, I colored the image adding the greens, browns, blues and violets to the gray stamped image. Copic Colors: E33, E37, B41, BV23, BV31, BG70, YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97, W1, W2, W3. The top of the hill looks like I added something to it to make it look like moss, but it is just the ink build up, the cardstock is fully saturated.
The colored image is matted with brown cardstock. Then, added it to the layered patterned cardstock on the brown base card. The Father's Day sentiment is from Contemporary Greetings and stamped with Burnt Umber Palette Ink on a die cut tag from the Willoughby collection. This tag has a wide slit perfect for a ribbon. Since Willoughy is a white core cardstock I ran the side of a brown marker around the edges of the tag so the white edge would be covered.
