Tonight the Art With Heart team are sharing creative projects featuring cards with images that you can colour in. We hope our Blog Hop inspires you to pick up some Stampin’ Write markers, Watercolour pencils, Stampin' Blends or another form of colouring medium and colour in with your stamps.
Don’t forget to contact any of the ladies on the blog hop to order any products, especially the limited edition Colour Your Season products.
For this month's Blog Hop I decided to stretch the rules a little. The theme is Coloured Images, but instead of stamping and colouring an image I created a mask which I used to draw my own image to colour.
Do you recognise it? It's a die from the Eclectic Layers Thinlits set. I cut it from scrap cardstock, trimmed it to the size I was after, used washi to adhere it to my cardstock and then traced through the design with a pen.
I then used my watercolour pencils to colour the rainbow of colours in the design. I use a Wink Of Stella pen to blend the colours together. LOL, I don't think I've ever used the pencils with my Aqua Painter! Each of the little sections was coloured with two colours, leaving a little white in the middle. The WOS pen is then used to smooth the colour and to pull it into the white section until the two colours blend nicely.
Just in case you were wondering, here's the colours I used. It was a mix of the old and new packs to get the perfect spectrum. The new collection of Watercolour Pencils are available this month, however Stampin' Up! have said that they may be in an upcoming catalogue.
I used some of the same colours to colour the butterfly on the inside.
Are you a colourer? What's your preferred medium? Are you keen on pencils, markers or Blends? I love all three!
That' sit for me, so now it’s time for you to hop on over to Ros Davidson's blog. She makes awesome cards, and she's also the one that organises us to do our hops. Thanks, Ros!
Here's a list of all of the hoppers tonight in case you come across a broken link:
Bye for now,
Tina
I too love the watercolour pencils and I do love your bright colours, they really stand out on your white card!
ReplyDeleteTina, how clever to make your own mask and create such a vibrant rainbow of colours!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty card Tina. I love the beautiful soft look of the colours from the pencils.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the dies in a non traditional way on the card Tina. I love the use of the pencils in a ombre colour palette. Thanks for taking part in the colouring in blog hop.
ReplyDeleteWell that was thinking outside the box but I think you are exceptional at that. It is really great Tina, I love it now I will be looking at all my dies to see what I can use! :)
ReplyDeleteWow Tina! That's totally amazing :) Love it. The blending of the colours looks so good.
ReplyDeleteTina I love the gradient colours shown on the card. It's very modern and yet artistic one. The embossed purple cardstock definitely adds depth and is consistent with the theme.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Tina TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Tina will be trying this technique. Love the card.
