Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday! It's the 1st Wednesday of the month and that always signals a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog. Our generous sponsors this month are Newton's Nook and QKR Stampede. The Optional Twist is: Lot's of Layers.
For my project, I've used the sweet Tulips Stamp Set from Newton's Nook. I've not personally seen blue tulips, maybe there are some in Holland but in the crafting world, we can create any color of flower we want!
I've been trying to expand my skills with colored pencils and not always grab my alcohol markers, so I've colored this image with my Prismacolor Pencils. I've kept the design sweet and simple, after coloring I lightly blended blue ink over the background.
Before mounting the panel on a black mat, I splattered with diluted blue and white ink sprays. Lastly, I've added blue gems for a bit of sparkle and shine. We hope to see you at The Paper Funday this month. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna

I think the blue tulips are lovely! I have the same problem as you, not using other things to color with besides my alcohol markers, your colored pencil work looks great. I need to follow your lead and get out the colored pencils, water color brushes, etc., I didn't buy them to sit in the drawer forever!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful the tulips on your card. Love the background you have created.

P.S. I went to Paper Funday to play along. What a FUN challenge. I was unable to find the Linky tool. It said it was expired. Please let me know if I'm missing something. Thanks so much. I look forward to playing along.
