Isn't this a beautiful photo of the Lily of the Valley flower? When you think of lilies, you usually think of the color white, right? Me too. But how do you color white when you've stamped your image on white cardstock? The key is to really look at the shadows. Look at the photo below....there is a lot of pretty, shimmery white color...and lots of gray/purplish color in the shadows. That's what you want to recreate with your Copic colors.
I created my card using the pretty Lily of the Valley stamp from JustRite's
Breath of Spring Borders & Centers stamp set and my Copic Sketch markers.
For my main image, I left lots of white space on the flower images but also used gray markers to create shadows, keeping my inspiration photo close at hand. If you zoom in on the flowers, you can see that I also added some shimmer to the flowers by using a glitter pen.
A pretty little card for Easter/Spring...hope you enjoy!

What a pretty card! I had fun case-ing you for the Papertrey blog hop post for last night! Thanks for all your inspiration!
I so appreciate your explanations about using Copic markers. I am taking Copic classes so I am interested in everything I find from experienced artists like yourself. Lily of the valley is my birth month flower (May). Thanks and the card is very pretty

Mish, I couldn't find an email link, but I thought this post might appeal to you. It's about meal planning and freezer cooking and has some downloadable worksheets.

Pretty pretty pretty : my birthday flower. Have to ask - what paper is that? October Moon or Cosmo
I love the card!! When I was a kid we had a patch of Lily of the Valley growing under one of our windows. They are still one of my favorite flowers . . . thanks for the beautiful card for jogging my memory.
Love it. Gotta get that stamp set.
Absolutely gorgeous! Love the textures and bow! You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your creative organization. I just may need to pull out my old gelatin molds. Love how the pastel colors just scream spring.
