I used Prisma color pencils to color this flower and used Copic blending solution to blend the colors. My inspiration for this card comes from "Coloring Techniques for Card Making", by Annie's Attic. (page 13) The artist of the card in this magazine is Asela Hopkins. I followed the design according to the directions; the only thing different that I did was to use paper that I had available and I used ribbon instead of rickrack and I omitted the pearls. I had lots of fun coloring the hydrangea and I plan on using this stamp more often.This book shows you three of the most popular coloring techniques in card making: watercolors, colored pencils and alcohol-based ink markers. Plus, it contains lots of projects with step-by-step directions.
The stamps used are Hero Arts: Hydrangea K5376.
Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate the comments.
