This was a fun card to make. I started by stamping this stamp (sorry, I don't know the maker. I unmounted the stamp and neglected that information) with Rich Cocoa Memento ink. I colored with Copic markers. I colored the dots on the leaves with an orange Sakura Glaze Pen. Gave them a nice little shine even though you can't see that here. I used white card stock so I could keep the true colors of the Copic markers. I didn't want the background to be so white though so I spritzed the colored image and the top piece of the card with Tsukineko Walnut ink. I have an area set up in my garage to do this. I mounted the image on a bronze metallic paper after putting it through an embossing folder. After putting the card together I edged with chalk inks. The top jewels are Swarovski crystals in a topaz color. The crystals on the image are a smoked topaz.
