When I went looking for flourishy type images in my stamp collection I found a set from Impression Obsession that I purchased years ago and - horrors! - it had not seen ink. The set has several images that are so pretty, and perfect for coloring.
I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black on copic x-press it blending cardstock and colored it with copics. I used the "feather blending" technique to color and used only two markers - a red and a yellow, to achieve the look. I used those same two markers to edge the square panel.
An SU photo corner punch and piercing kit were also used to create the card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Absolutely stunning! Your color is perfect and it simply glows on all the white. Love that you kept the corners to an absolutely minimum - just enough to showcase the image and add interest!
