Adding depth

I was actually doing better last night so I have started some of the challenges from my stamp group.  I wasn't very clear on my post, my sister called and let me know, I had scratched not only the cornea of my eye but also into the white area, forgot what he called it, so bad that he wasn't sure if the contact would cover it all, but it did enough to take the pain away, I am still very light sensitive but doing much better.  Thank  you all for your well wishes and prayers I am so thankful for them all, you are all so sweet.  My hubby has turned down the background of my computer so that I can work on it and so I am hoping that my pictures will look ok on your computer :)
You can find Beth's challenge HERE on her blog.  

Hubby said that these stencils I chose to use weren't the best for this technique but he looked through all I have and said yeah you don't have any that would really show this technique well, so I just went with what I had :)

The color marker I came up with to give depth to the rays was almost a match but the only other color I had was the orange and I didn't like that at all. You can see a touch of it at the bottom of the rays, I tried covering it up with the sentiment.

Here is a close up of the rays with the marker adding depth.

Tim Holtz - rays stencil, w/ Distress inks, Carved pumpkin and fossilized amber
Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine sentiment
Sparkle confetti

Here are the two together after adding using markers and on the brown one I used colored pencil on the light parts as I didn't have a marker that color and I want to make a vintage card out of that one.

Thanks for stopping by,
