I don’t think I’ve ever been more pleased with myself than now. Honestly. I just finished The Magician from World of Tarot by Alexis E. Thompson and I am obsessed!
This page started out as me overcoming my fear of this book because its pages are intricate AF and most of the elements are very realistic and once I laid down my Distress ink in the background I took off running! I wanted to give this a distinct vintage feel with soft brownish colors and to really make the card – and in particular the butterfly pop because those are the center of this piece and I feel I did a pretty good job!
I love working with Distress ink, and I really enjoyed basing with my Tombow dual brush pens. All and all, this was such a win. I worked on it off and on for approximately a month and I’m so so pleased it’s now finished and that it turned out so beautiful!
Mediums used:
- Background: Distress ink, distress crayons
- Basing: Tombow dual brush pens
- Card border and lettering: Wink of Luna
- Pencil work: Castle Arts Harmonious and Derwent Chromaflow
