A wonderful and versatile go-to for backgrounds or a single image, this technique works great with the large scale floral images in all my Stately Flowers sets, as well as A Year of Flowers and A Year of Flowers 2. When you've already invested in ink pads that coordinate with your paper, you really don't need a lot of markers (unless you want them, of course!)
I used the camellia from my Stately Flowers 2. (I love the flowers and greeting in this set.) I am so ready for spring after all the wet rainy weather we've had the past few weeks, and was inspired by some lovely, springy prints in bright colors I saw at the mall recently! It was a good reminder you don't *always* need to have realistic shading as your goal; get a little artsy sometimes and be bolder. Have fun!

ReplyDeleteLove the cat in the video. So funny to see other people have pet helpers.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, lovely card and great technique that has the look of having a lot of detail work without the fuss. Thank you for sharing. I have a little crafting buddy that also likes to try and help. Blessing to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this great technique.
ReplyDeleteYes, enjoyed this coloring so much and your kitty ........so cute. They always want to sit right in the middle of what we're doing, laying on computer keys or in an open book on your lap. Love your stately flowers. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great technique. I love coloring with markers, but this is a great way to color a lot of flowers quickly.
