Hello Friends and Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was great and you found time to do activities that made you happy and creative. I have a quick project to share using the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember 2022 Collab set with Pink Fresh Studio named "Just Start". The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp "Love You Greetings" Set.
This is the first time stamping this set and it's a gorgeous bouquet of roses with another smaller set of florals for a corner placement and it's also the first stamping for the sentiment.
My crafty friend Donna Ellis from Creative Smiles and I were talking about the color Orange. This is a color that's not in my wheelhouse of favorite colors. I gravitate to pinks and purples with the occasional blue, however we decided we should step out of our comfort zones and use it. This is my result.
I also want to expand my Colored Pencil technique. I love my Prismacolor Pencils but always default to alcohol markers, so I've made a conscious effort to color this image with pencils. Coloring with Pencils is a slower process than coloring with alcohol markers. If you want a nice, relaxing coloring session, then pencils are a good choice. If you need a "in a hurry" coloring job - pencils are not a fast medium, however let me say that coloring with pencils is not difficult, you just need to build layers slowly. I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed this coloring session and found it quite relaxing.
If you're looking for great inspiration and instruction on colored pencils, let me suggest Coloring Bliss. She provides instructional and informational videos on You Tube and she has a lovely personality.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
