Seriously Vintage

OK. I’ve just found my new favorite stamp! I can’t put it down! I’ve created three designs with Tulip Girl in the past 12 hours and it is so seriously sweet I’m hooked. I have one of them to share with you today… a sketch challenge design that I just had to play along with this morning. My Prima Marketing paper was perfect inspiration for a color scheme and to get a soft vintage look.

Here’s a better peek at the coloring…

Quick Tip: When coloring with Copic markers…color your areas in one or two shades and blend well. Go back in after you have completed the image and add any extra color you need to create more shadow and dimension.

Have a sweet day!
