Shades of Brown

From my last blog I promised to post results from 

stamping images in shades of brown.

Then how they colored!

The 3 shades of brown I choose to stamp:

Memento - Toffee Crunch

Archival Ink - Coffee

Adirondack - Espresso 

(yes, I did go back to my favorite color)

First Shade of Brown - Archival Ink Coffee

Colored using Distress Markers

Second Shade of Brown - Memento Toffee Crunch

Colored with Copic Sketch Markers

Third Shade of Brown - Adirondack Espresso

Colored with Copic Sketch Markers

What did I discover?

1). How important the intensity the shade of brown must be

2). How different the effect of color is when the same shade of

 Copic Marker is used - E81 and E44 basket horn  

3). The impression and detail that the stamp gives after coloring

Cornucopia is a symbol of Abundance

Next images I will stamp using Memento in Rich Cocoa and Espresso Truffle.
 Please comment what your thoughts are on stamping with different colors?

Imagination!
