Sweet Herbs

I got the urge to make a card and Sweet Herbs was calling my name. If there's one stamp I love to color it's the potted herbs stamp from Sweet Herbs.



For this image I used a lot of the Copic Warm Grays to give it a shadowy look. I very lightly used a little Special Black 110 to give the darkest shadows on the pots, then blended it with the darker grays.

For the pots I started with a light warm brown and added an light orangy color over it. Then some more brown, then more orange, then I worked on it with the warm grays. Fun stuff!

For the plants I stayed in the grayer, more muted greens and tried to mimic the natural colors of the flowers.



Inside, I couldn't think of a word stamp to use so I've left it blank for now. You wouldn't believe how much trouble those corners were!

It's not really visible in my pics, but I used the Cuttlebug Polka Dots embossing folder on all the designer papers except the one under the front word phrase.



I might use this stamp again soon because I just need to color some more! Thanks for looking!
