Featured Products

• * Love Blooms by Penny Black [ SBC | SSS ]
• Memento Ink in Desert Sand [ SSS ]
• Strathmore Bristol Smooth Series 300 [ Blick ]
• Copic markers (see list below)
• Prismacolor Pencils (see list below)

I stamped the image on Strathmore Series 300 Bristol using Memento Ink in Desert Sand. This ink is dark enough to see but light enough that you can cover the lines as you color. I colored the image with Copic markers (see list below). Then I used the Prismacolor colored pencils to add definition and detail that I just can’t get with a Copic marker.

I hardly ever do no-line coloring because I’m really pretty dependent on those black lines. And to be honest, I didn’t think this would turn out so I didn’t bother turning on the camera. However eliminating the black lines as well as sticking with a limited number of markers and colored pencils elevated my coloring to a different level. Certainly fooled me!

That’s all for today!

HEY FRIENDS! Guess what! I made a card! Yes, it’s true. The urge to do more than just color came upon me yesterdat and I put together my SECOND card of the year. I might be on a roll, but don’t hold me to it! Today, I’m featuring the Heart Dance stamp set by Penny Black. I coveted this stamp set from the moment I saw it. I just love this little girl and knew that she had to find her way onto a card.

HEY FRIENDS! I’m still in color only mode. Honestly, I haven’t felt like making cards, but I’m finding delight in coloring so that’s where I’m focused right now. I have a stash of Penny Black stamps to work through which they generously sent to me. So that’s what I’m doing right now. Today’s image is from the Flood of Hearts stamp set which includes a second image as well as a sentiment. I’ve left the second image for another day, but I couldn’t resist coloring those hearts!

I’ve started turning on the camera automatically when I sit down to color. And if the technology gods are smiling, I have footage that I can edit and upload to YouTube. So that’s what I did today. It was supposed to be a snowy day — still waiting for that to happen, But I did get to spend a quiet afternoon in the studio coloring a new image.
