HEY FRIENDS! Just a quick post today. I intended on having a video for you on Monday for the Enchantingly image from Penny Black. However, technology failed me. So I colored it again — proving that I can’t color an image the same way twice. But I hope the video better explains the use of B34 under the red and green markers for very basic underpainting.

That’s all for now!
HEY FRIENDS! I was beyond excited when Penny Black, Inc. invited me to color images from their new Cherish 2025 Collection. I even have an email from Jill Foster that I might have to frame and hang in my studio! I’ve followed Penny Black for years and loved so many of the images colored by the designers so now it’s truly a privilege to have the chance to color for a brand that I love.
Today I’m featuring the Enchantingly stamp set which includes a large floral bouquet, a single flower stem and a sentiment.

You might be confused by that B34 marker in the list when there is no obvious blue coloring in the image. I used it to underpaint the darkest areas. For example, I used B34 in the darkest area of the leaves and went over it and a little beyond with YG17. Then I finished the blend with YG03. Same for the petals — a little B34 to start in the darkest areas followed by R35, R32, and R30.
That’s all for today!
COPICS: R30, R32, R35, B34 (flower); YG03, YG17, B34 (leaves)

HEY FRIENDS! Had an hour or so in the studio this morning before I had to get on with the day. This stamp set has been sitting on my desk for quite awhile waiting to be noticed. So today was the day! This is one of the many images from the Snowman Hugs stamp set by Penny Black. Copic markers are listed below as well as another video. Enjoy!

HEY FRIENDS! Not much in the way of crafting over the weekend. Yesterday was my dad’s 97th birthday and we took him out to lunch. Afterwards, we went back to my parents’ house and a neighbor stopped in for birthday cake. Dad had a great time and we had another opportunity to make memories.
Today I’m back in the studio. Cardmaking is pretty much on the back burner, but I’m trying to color a different image most days. This time it was the Anita Jeram Veg Out! stamp set by Colorado Craft Company. I’ve got another video for you which is shown below.
