Sympathy

A card for a friend who had a loss in her family.


  I stamped this Unity image (Dec. 17 KOTM) on Watercolor paper (Strathmore) using a stamping platform. I colored with Zig pens and Artesa waterbrush pens, plus a bit of Wink of Stella.
  Cardstock and DSP are SU as are the pearls.  The butterfly die is Cheery Lynn.

 I googled the Arteza brushes and watched alot of You Tube video's before buying them. I was able to color direct to paper, blend a bit, remove ink that was too saturated and lift color that blended on the edges and also used ink scribbled on my stamp block mixed with water for the background.  I also did some tip to tip blending for middle tones of the colors.  So far, I am pleased with the results of the markers : )

 Here is my swatching- Lt on watercolor paper and Rt Neenah cardstock.


 These pens do not have numbers on them, so I will have to figure that out so I can easily color with them if they get out of this order..... 

This is my Zig pen collection.  You can buy these individually, and they have numbers on them.  I will be filling in my collection with the Zigs in the future.


 My first time using a new bottle of Nuvo drops:

 So, when the Nuvo drops first start flowing, do not squeeze too hard : ) LOL
