Love and Friends – Collaboration

Hi everyone! I am excited for a collaboration with 2 of my fellow Graciellie Designs team mates Sandhya Iyer and Angie Cimbalo. For this collaboration we chose to use the beautiful Love and Friends stamp set. https://gracielliedesign.shop/product/love-friends-digital-stamp-set/ This set has a beautiful grapevine wreath with a gorgeous floral. The sentiments in this set are so pretty as well.

I started by printing my image and sentiment on Tonic Studios alcohol marker paper. I was eager to try out my new Altenew Artist Markers for this project. I am learning how to color with these markers, I have a long way to go, but it is fun to learn new coloring mediums. I use the shades of purple set for the floral image. Once the image was completed I added shades of a deep purple and blue to the nooks and crannies for extra dimension. For the leaves I used greens from Tonic studios, Nuvo Alcohol marker pens. For the grapevine wreath I used 2 copic brown colors. Wow… I sure do have a mix of alcohol markers! But I guess it works….. To complete my card I used Nuvo glitter drops and metallic water color splatter, along with some gold sequins.

I would love it if you would stop by Sandhya’s blog to see how she used this set! https://wp.me/paiTWP-JE Then be sure to stop by Angie’s blog to see another wonderful idea for this beautiful set! https://cimbacreativefun.blogspot.com/2020/02/always-love-you-with-graciellie-designs.html We would love to see what you make with this set!
