Saturday was World Cardmaking Day. Because I'm in the middle of my colored pencil class, I celebrated by incorporating my coloring onto a card. The image is from Leisure Arts' Love Grows and colored with Prismacolors (affiliate links).
I tried two new things with this coloring project. First, I colored in the whole image very lightly to work out my colors. Previously I would have fully colored and burnished one flower at a time. I liked having the whole color scheme mapped out.
Second, I colored an object white (actually three objects- two flowers and the vase). This was my first attempt after watching Sarah's video on coloring white objects. It was a really interesting exercise. Looking at it against the uncolored white background, I wasn't sure if I liked it...
... but once I fussy-cut the image and layered it on the pink polka dot paper, I decided I'm pleased with the white. I have room for improvement, of course.
Sweet colours!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Even if I could handle all the coloring the fussy cutting would frustrate me, LOL!
