I'm back today with a card using a new technique, for me, at least. The technique is stamp etching and can be found here on Splitcoaststampers. The idea is to use a fine tip marker to make lines within the image (petals here) with a flicking motion so that they are finer at the end than the beginning. Then, you can use your marker for heavier shading if you like. I tried to accomplish those things. This technique gives a lot of depth to the card.
See the stamp before I used the technique:
My image is from Inspired by Stamping/French Country. I colored the image with Copics and used a black sharpie for the technique.
Copics-YR12, 18, 24--Y28--YG0000, YG03, YG61
I'm entering my card into the Inspired by Stamping Customer Gallery Contest here.
Also, Addicted to Stamps is having challenge #109 CAS so I'll enter there.

So stunning and perfect!!
Look at YOU! Not only is the image beautiful, but I love what you did with the SCS technique! WOW! Beautiful colors and I especially like the fallen petal. Benzi, you have really done a beautiful card. (I also like the etching in the leaves). I would not be able to keep the lines straight, so did not even attempt to do it, but what a wonderful technique! and it really changed your image - looks so detailed now, doesn't it? hugs, de

This is so pretty! You are so good at doing these different techniques...really liked Lydia's video...another thing to put on my wish list to do! Thanks for sharing.
I have long been a fan of sun flowers and daises. This is just gorgeous. The technique you describe is one I use all of the time. It is very versatile when used with markers. The detail you can create is amazing sometimes. - Jim
Brenda, please forgive me for being so late in commenting. I've been a little under the weather. Your card is just beautiful. Sunflowers are my favorite. Hugs, joann sassy raggedy
Wow! Personally, I prefer your way. :) It has so much more charm with all those little lines drawn in. I'm going to have to try that sometime; I have that stamp too!
