Rowhouse Greetings | Camping by Penny Black

HEY FRIENDS! I’m back today with a new coloring project and new video featuring the Camping stamp set by Penny Black. I just loved this little girl and I’m finally getting around to coloring her.

As a child, my family often went camping together. I have faint memories of our initial camping adventure, which featured our family of five squeezed into a small tent. It didn’t take long for my mom to determine that camping with three kids in a tent was not her idea of fun, prompting my parents to purchase a pop-up camper shortly thereafter. We spent numerous summer weekends at the beach camping, and I cherish those trips as some of my happiest memories.

As you’ll see in the video below, I created the background using one of the stencils in the Background Basics Stencils set and then used a domed foam blender to blend in Distress Ink in Twisted Citron and Salty Ocean for the grass and sky. I used Distress Ink in order to color over some of the background to complete the grass. Do NOT use Distress Oxides for the background. The pigmented ink is not alcohol marker compatible and at minimum you could ruin the nibs on your markers.

Love Blooms | Penny Black

Rowhouse Greetings | Scatter Love by Penny Black

HEY FRIENDS! Another quick post today. Today I’m featuring one of the images from the Love Blooms stamp set by Penny Black. As you know I was recently asked to color images from the latest release and this is one of my favorites. The stamp set includes three simple floral sprigs as well as a sentiment — “ALL OF ME LOVES ALL OF YOU.”

As always, I’m grateful for Penny Black’s support and the opportunity to show you products that I love.

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!

Flood of Hearts | Penny Black

Rowhouse Greetings | Flood of Hearts by Penny Black

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.
