Black Magic

Good Morning everyone!  Have you ever heard of that technique?  Well, neither have I until recently when it became the first challenge of the year from my monthly card traders group.  I think it could be very striking when not done on this small of a scale, unfortunately, I no longer have 2-step stamps or large bold image stamps - I mean I have very very few.

So the idea is to stamp your image with white craft ink, heat set it and then color the image with watercolor pencils.  I don't have watercolor pencils anymore, so I used my prismacolor pencils and did use a bit of gamsol to soften the coloring.  As I said, I think it could be very striking on a larger scale.

I used a great sketch from Truly Scrumptious and also played along with JUGS this week by creating an envelope to match.  And it's lined!
