My first cards with the set add a splash of color with a very simple technique: inking up an acrylic block with markers, spritzing with water, and stamping on paper. Once the background was dry, I stamped the images and words with Archival black ink.
Each card uses different green markers (a combination of StampinUp and Memento).
The simplicity of these cards thrills me! The tension between the extremely irregular, unpredictable color splotches and the crisp black herbs and vast white space is delightful, and I love how the font brings the irregularity and crispness together...antique, loose, yet very readable.
Ahhh. Satisfaction.
I got it.
Mercy, grace, peace, and love,
Susan

DeleteI came across your blog while visiting Pinterest. I'm a lots of layering type of cardmaker BUT I love your cards to bits.
