Superstar contest from MFT stamps - Coloring Virtuoso

Hi everyone!

Since I saw the Superstar contest on My Favorite things blog I decided to challenge myself to create an autumn scene using my Spectrum Noir markers.


Here is my card and I am pretty happy with how it turned out! What I did first was to stamp the cute critters from Harvest buddies stamp set using My favorite things Hybrid Black licorice ink and then attempted to color the background.


I never feel confident enough to create my own backgrounds using alcohol markers , I usually stick to ink blending or watercoloring , so to make sure I like my background I started using very light colors and slowly building the scene and the color scheme.

When everything was finished I stamped the sentiment from the same set and then added some details using a white gel pen!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a great day!
