Joy ornament

Although I had my Touch markers packed up, I had to pull them out the other night to color up this digital stamp from Gina K. Designs... I had a concept in my head that I wanted to see if I could duplicate, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. The picture's not perfectly accurate (like the paper is actually white...) but I kept losing the true colors of the markers if I tried to fix the white.

I had shared the picture during the process with some Facebook friends, and they encouraged me to frame it.... so I cut a mat from some velvet paper cardstock using a Coluzzle template. It won't stay in this frame - I'll have to find another one... but this was the only 5x7" frame I could find (and it had my favorite wedding photo in it...)!

Speaking of traveling with markers, this is how they are packed now - previously I had some round containers in there, but found these ones that are taller and a perfect fit.

These are the markers I used on the image - I based my color choices on the current color challenge over at the Touch Twin Challenge Blog:

Thanks for checking on me! What a crazy week... Thursday is graduation and Saturday we leave for the States!!

Thanks for stopping by!

  6. Great job. Can you please tell me the printer you use to print digital images onto card stock? I have an HP and the heavier weight paper jams. Thanks so much.
