Hello! Wow... I'm posting again, lol! I have been busy lately doing more coloring with my ZIGs! This time I used some of the images from the Simon Says Stamp Delicate Flowers stamp set that is part of the SSS May card kit. I also used a piece of the Moda Scrap patterned paper that comes in the kit. I am beyond pleased with how the flowers turned out! I keep looking at them and reminding myself that yes... I did color them! And this is all thanks to the amazing Kristina Werner and her fabulous video! I used another one of the color combos that she used in the video, as well. I stamped the images on smooth bristol cardstock with VersaFine CLAIR Acorn ink and then colored them with the following ZIGs: Light Carmine Red, Wine Red and Dark Brown. The stems were colored with Mid Green and Olive Green ZIGs with a touch of dark brown. I then trimmed out all the images. The patterned paper was die cut and I stamped it with one of the leaf images from the set using the Acorn ink. The flowers were arranged and then I added the sentiment (from the stamp set) that I heat embossed in white on vellum and trimmed down. I'm sending this off to the following challenges: Freshly Made Sketches (sketch), Time Out challenges (inspiration photo) and Simon Says Stamp (inspiration photo as well). I colored these images on Tuesday and had no idea that the flowers would work for both Time Out and Simon Says Stamp! Don't you love it when thinks work out that way?! So happy to play along with Time Out as my sweet friend, Greta, is guest designing for them!
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Supplies: Cardstock: SSS dark brown, Strathmore smooth bristol, Vellum; Patterned paper: Moda Scrap; Stamps: Simon Says Stamp; Inks: VersaFine CLAIR, VersaMark; Embossing powder: Hero Arts white; Watercolor medium: ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Markers
