Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.

Personally, I'm not much of a duck hunter, however, my husband and his cousin are, or were before my husband was disabled, avid hunters and when I opened this set he went crazy. I decided while making this card to go with a masculine/fall color scheme and after stamping the main image in memento black onto white card stock, I pulled out my koh-i-noor pencils and blender marker and got to work. Once my coloring was finished, I lightly stippled some Tim Holtz distress inks around the edges before layering and adding brads.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs for a chance to win today's featured set.

Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.

First of all, I just LOVE today's featured set. I'm in love with tigers as a whole and fascinated by them. They are just so regal and mysterious as the same time, so when Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company came out with this new set, I was ecstatic.

My image is stamped in memento black and colored with prismacolor markers with tumbled glass distress ink stippled around the edges. Then I layered everything, added some faux brads, and stamped my background using the bamboo image from Wealthy Fish.

Here are some additional cards I've made with the set.
