Hello! Popping in with a card for a few challenges and as my post title indicates I did some more coloring with my Copic markers. I'm going to post this card to the following challenges: The Flower Challenge (anything goes), Freshly Made Sketches and Time Out (I fussy cut the flower and it is a birthday card). I have always been scared of coloring with reds. They can be so unforgiving if they bleed and you try to clean it up. But I decided to be brave and color with a red combo courtesy of Kelly Latevola. The flower I used is from the A Jillian Vance Design Dear Daisy stamp set. I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black and then colored it with the following markers: R32, R35, R29 and R59. The center was colored with Y02 and Y08 and the leaf with YG03, YG05, G17 and G28. I fussy cut the flower out and then outlined the flower and cleaned up the white edges with a black Mircon pen. I kept everything regarding the sketch very simple as I really wanted the flower to be the focus. The sentiment is also from A Jillian Vance Design (Make A Wish) and the dies I used are also AJVD. I must say that I'm really pleased with my coloring. I managed to create a consistent highlight area on the petals giving them a slightly rounded look. Never thought I would be able to do something like that! 
Thanks for stopping by today... stay safe and well!
