I used my Prismacolor pencils on both cards and some fussy cut patterned paper. For the first card, I stamped the image on light Kraft paper using InkOn 3’s Fadeout No Line ink. I used pencil colors coordinating with this new paper pack of mine, Coffee Time, from Laserowe Love (which I love).
For the second card, I used paper from Bo Bunny’s, Aryia’s Garden. I also stamped this image with the InkOn 3 ink. This time, I created a little background by adding watercolor stripes using oxide inks and spattered with Silver Glitter ink. I used round and rectangle die cuts, special ribbon and Gunmetal Embossing powder on this one. Of course, took a little license with this one by adding a mask.
Must admit, both of my images were inspired by current events. The first, reflects my too avid interest in reading the news daily with my coffee. The second, what I say to myself when donning my mask going shopping. Although, if I were honest... I should have added gray roots ;-) !Wonder how you’d depict your life right now? Hope you enjoy these Angie girl cards! Please stay safe and take a craft break when you feel like it. Better days are coming!
