This is my favorite of my Santoro Gorjuss Stamps, this one is called "The Hatter". I stamped her onto white cardstock, and colored her and the background in with Dick Blick Markers. The Dick Blick Markers are alcohol based, and some say as good as Copics, but at a much cheaper price. The only Copics I own are some skin color copics, so I couldn't really say if they are as good. I can say that I myself do like them very much, as does my pocket book. :-) I used decorative scissors to cut around the edge of the stamp and the yellow card stock behind it. I attached the stamp design to the yellow cardstock with double sided tape, then attached them to the beautiful scrapbooking paper (the green flowered background paper) It was in a set from Michaels. I love the bright colors, and thought it went well with how I colored my stamp. I'm one of those who does the stamps backwards. I've read that most people pick out the papers that they are going to use for their cards, then color their stamp according to the colors in their papers. I on the other hand color my stamp however I feel, then hope I can find some coordinating papers. LOL The butterfly stickers at the top are the only part of the card I'm not very fond of. I think it would have looked nicer with die cut butterflies, but at the time I didn't own a butterfly die set. I have sense corrected that. :-)
Happy Crafting All...
