Crime and Coloring Season 2 Episode 42 Rhode Island and the Death of Benjamin Burton

Hello my true crime fans. Our journey today take us to Rhode Island and the suspicious death of Benjamin Burton. 

First, lets talk about the coloring. Today I am using the Altenew Blooms of Friendship stamp and die set. This is one that has been in my stash for a little while and one I have many plans for. I think it can be used for just about any occasion.

I colored all the images with copic markers. Here are the color combinations I used. They are the Copic color match for Altenew's alcohol markers.

 For all the white flowers: W 00 W0W1W2

For all the yellow flowers: YR27 Y38 Y15YY11

 For the pink flowers: RV69 RV66 RV63 RV55

For the green leaves: YG67 YG25 YG03 YG 01

For the other leaves: BG78 BG75 BG72 BG70

For the purple flowers: BV08 BV04 BV02 BD01

For the branches: E29 E27 E25 E23

I purchased most of my copic markers at MarkerPop.com

Here are the finished cards. I planned two and ended up with three. My original plan was to layer the branches with the leaves, but I think that will be better as a stamped image instead of a die cut card. I guess it's a good thing I stamped all the images. 

Now the crime. Benjamin Burton was a well known business man in Rhode Island. He was probably the first African American entrepreneur in the state.  He was a good businessman, a well liked neighbor, and a loving family man. And his death turned his family and their neighborhood upside down.
