warmest thoughts with The Craft's Meow

The Crafts Meow warmest thoughts by Kimberly Crawford

The Christmas card inspiration from The Craft's Meow continues today! Today's peek is of this beautiful oil lamp decorated for the holidays. And it gave me a chance to take out my Copics!

Coloring the lamp to look like brass took some thought. But my first step when coloring a challenging image is to always look to the internet for real-life images. I Googled brass oil lamps and found several images that worked for me to look at and figure out which markers would work best. I grabbed Ys and Es. Yellow, but also a hint of brown. I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out.
