Hello everyone! Popping in with a card for a couple of challenges: Color Throwdown and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge. I absolutely love the colors in this week's CTD challenge! They are so bright and fun! I have wanted to color up the Essentials by Ellen Mondo Wildflower stamp set for ages now and this was the perfect opportunity. I recently tried my hand at no line watercoloring with pretty good results (I will be sharing that card soon!) so decided to give it a go with the Mondo Wildflower, but unfortunately I need more practice. Since no line was a no go I went with my tried and true coloring with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush markers on smooth bristol cardstock and got much better results. After I finished coloring I die cut the image with the matching die. I die cut some Simon Says Stamp fog cardstock with a Jillian Vance Design stitched dot rectangle, stamped the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black (I used the same ink for the image) and then adhered the die cut image with foam dimensionals. The panel was then adhered to a fog cardstock base. I really like the way the fog cardstock makes the bright colors pop!

ReplyDeleteJust a lovely card Rosemary. I have tried no line coloring, but it sured doesn't come easy for me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coloring of that wonderful image, Rosemary! Somehow I missed the wildflowers & think I'll add it to my wishlist. No line can be beautiful, but I really like the black outlines in this case.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS card, love the colours and your stamp on this coloured card.
