My project is a scrapbook page using the stamp of the month along with

this layout is earmarked for pictures of my little blondie granddaughter.

Let's take a little closer look.

The images were stamped with black Momento ink and then colored in with the following ShinHan Touch Twin markers: Marine Blue, Cerulean Blue, Barely Beige, Carmine, Light Orange, Clay, Bronze, Golden Yellow, Leaf Green, and Sap Green.

Here's a close-up look at some of the stamping.

The lemon slices were stamped with canary ink and shaded with

ShinHan markers.

The straw was stamped with Pixie ink and shaded with the Tender Pink ShinHan  marker.  I slit the rim of the jar at the top line and the bottom line, and then again at the level of the lemonade.  I shaded the lemonade with yellow markers listed below and then stamped the lemon slices with Canary ink on top of the coloring.
