In today’s video, I will show you how to quickly add color to your stamped images with colored pencils on colored cardstock and how to give them a curled and 3D dimensional effect using a stylus and a mouse pad. Pencils are a fast and easy way to create fine detail and a textured look on your projects. Be sure to watch the whole video as I show a different portrait style orientation of the same design pictured above. Please enjoy! It may be difficult to see the dimension added in this top down video orientation view, but the way the petals open so realistically, it's a "wow" in real life! :)

Beautiful card. Thanks for the video.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, I love this idea. It looks so quick and easy. I will try that tomorrow. I have all of your stately flower sets and love them all. Have used them over and over. Thanks for the ideas.
