there's still time to join in at
CAS Mix Up.
This time I used Distress Markers, Stamps, Watercolor, and Colored Pencils.
I inked the flower stamp with Festive Berries and stamped.
Then I moved the color around with an Aqua Painter and
added some shading and details with Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils.
This is a technique I learned during the Beautiful Details class at Altenew.
Marika (Me and Minime Crafting) taught the class.
I love all the details she adds.
I hope you'll come join us at
