FALL FUN

Hey there, I think I've overloaded you on gift card holders and matching gift bags, so how about a project that focuses on coloring?  I recently made my very first Whimsy/Wee Stamps purchase...this stamp was one of them.  I'm really excited to finally color a Sylvia Zet image!  How stinkin' cute is that dragon playing in the fall leaves?  Love!

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah card stock then colored with Copic markers.  I have to say, it was a little challenging to match the blue/green color of the dragon to the Doodlebug paper!  I am really happy with the result though!  I kept the design CAS (clean and simple) by adding a few banners and a single Taylored Expressions acorn die cut.  The acorn was cut from Neenah then colored with Copics.  The pieces were adhered together then shaped using a stylus and soft mat before being popped up on foam.
