A great sketch to work with today! The early edition paper was lightly washed with a mix of Copic opaque white paint and water. After it dried I stamped and masked the flowers using Eclipse Masking Paper. Colored with Prisma Pencils.
I used DMC Cotton Perle to tie around the band. It is similar to bakers twine but has a richer look and feel. I get this at Michaels and love the way it ties, the sheen, the thickness of it and the huge variety of colors. It is not embroidery floss but you can find it right next to the floss. And it is cheap!
Thanks for taking a look today!
