AECP - Beautiful Details

I have completed the Beautiful Details class at Altenew taught by Marika Rahtu. She teaches how to use markers, color pencils, and pens to add detail to your stamped images. Marika gives lots of tips and ideas for adding additional details to bring out your images.

 

I stamped the solid image from Altenew's Garden Hydrangea layering stamp set in the lighest color and then using the same ink I stamp the last of the layers . Once my ink was dry I then used a Pigma Micron 0.3 pen and went around each flower in the clusters to define each one. Lastly I used my Faber-Castell Polychromos  color pencils and added in the center details and some shading.

There was too much white space for my liking so I went in with the purple ink as well as some Dr PH Martin's Bombay ink in black and created splatters just around the flowers in the white areas. Heat embossed a sentiment from Altenew's Beautiful Quotes stamp set.
