Hampton Court Layout

It was a real treat to go to Hampton Court Palace since I had read so much about it. Seeing the actual red-brick towers brought to life the stories I had read but had trouble picturing until then. For the layout, I chose the sketch I had created in September for Splitcoast Stampers.

The Sketch:

For Always Missing You Card

I finally decided to take the plunge and order some alcohol-based markers from CTMH. Although I am not a big fan of coloring, I have to admit that these markers do the job much better than my water-based markers. Using a sketch from Splitcoast Stampers, I created two versions of a card, one for my customers who want to try out the markers, and one for those who just want to stick with sponging. For my first card, I was inspired to pull out the chair stamp set by a challenge from Stampin' Royalty. The chair is colored using both shades of Smokey Plum from the marker set as well as the darker shade of Juniper. Come back tomorrow to see the other version of the card!
