I used some old Printworks stamps that I've had since about 1990 and an old Rubber Stampede fishbowl. This card is big 5" X 7" in order to fit all the images. This was a challenge since working with a limited number of dye based marker colors. I did add just a touch of colored pencil because the shading on my vase was coming out green no matter what markers I tried and I wanted a gray/blue tone for it. This was definately interesting and I have very inky fingers!!!
What do you think?

Wow, I love this painting, Isn't it amazing to think that his paintings are sold at gastronomical prices. Not that he is not talented, I just love him, but wow, he would be sooo surprised if he knew. Love your card, it is very well coloured, and the technique looks cool. TFS

Wow!!!! So beautiful - and lovely to see on a dark grey morning here. Know what you mean about the limited colours! Goodness, I have about 80 Marvy Markers, can't believe I couldn't come up with closer tones. I like the flowers but I LOVE the vase, it looks like real china!
