Turquoise and Black Card - Diamond Pattern

Shades of turquoise with black. A simple diamond pattern.

I used my computer (PowerPoint) to make the black lines for my diamond pattern, which is intentionally uneven. After printing a full sheet of lines on Neenah, I cut a 1" x 4.5" strip, colored the diamonds with Copic markers, and then cut it into three 1" x 1.5" rectangles.

The marker colors are B01, BG05, BG32, and BG45, with B000, BG000, BG10, and B21 for shading and layering. The turquoise (Papertrey Ink Hawaiian shores) and black layers are on a white card base. The sentiment, "Thinking of you," is printed from the computer (Papyrus font) and underlined with Copic multiliner.
