is something we did as children and never worried about how we were doing, it was always beautiful, just ask your Mum or Dad, not your siblings. Funny how when we "grow up" we "think" we can't do it anymore, the colors aren't right, I can't get the shading,blah, blah, blah. Well, here's another thing my Mum used to tell us, practise makes perfect and she was right.
This card I think is my best "coloring" to date. I used Black Stazon to stamp the flower spray from Elements of Style onto Whisper White and colored it in using my blender pen and ink pads. If you look at your stamped images, the artist helps you, shading the areas that should be shaded so apply a darker color there. Leave white spots, it makes the images have more life and most of all, don't "scrub" with your blender pen, it will cause your paper to ball up.
The sentiment from Sincere Salutions is also stamped in Black Stazon for a crisp look and then a thin Basic Black border frames the image perfectly and then is layered onto a Melon Mambo card. If I may say so myself, striking!
Happy Stamping,
