I've been busy learning a few new techniques from Online Card Classes' Stretch Your Stamps 2. Laura Bassen made a couple of beautiful tags, placing the stamped focal point off centre and colouring it in with Copics. I've got a very limited number of large outline stamps (make that one) and used Waltzingmouse's Camellia set:
I white embossed the bloom on to white card stock and used a combination of Copics and a Kaisercraft blender pen. It didn't blend quite as well as the Copics but I quite like how the petals are more defined because of it. Of course, once I'd coloured the image in I wasn't quite sure what to do with it so turned to Mojo Monday for a bit of inspiration - thank goodness for sketches! And wouldn't you know, this fits in with Waltzingmouse Fantatics challenge - 'make your mark' so I'm popping it over there too. (Thanks Kate!)
See you later with the Colour Q challenge!

Simply stunning - love the white lines for colouring it gives such a different feel and the texture from the embossing ties is all together beautifully.
