Colouring with Happy Little Stampers


It's time for another challenge at
Happy Little Stampers CAS


I love to color.

I just can't decide which method I prefer!

Today, I colored with Zigs....

and some Wink of Stella.

I stamped one of the butterflies from my
Happy Little Stampers Butterfly Birthday set,
using black Archival ink.

The coloring was done with Zigs 31 & 81 and my Aqua Painter.

I wanted a tall, skinny card so I cut a piece of watercolor paper
  12 1/2" x 3 1/4" and scored at 6 1/4", embossed down the middle
and scored the edges.

After fussy cutting the butterfly and placing it on the card,
I coated the wings with Wink of Stella.

What kind of coloring (colouring) do you like to do.

If you need some inspiration, check out the awesome deigns
by our Design Team and our Guest Designer, Riti.

We'd love to see your coloring at
Happy Little Stampers CAS


This challenge is being sponsored by


and the winner of this challenge will receive this stamp set.



I'm so glad you could stop by.

 Enjoy!

    What a dramatic card with the butterfly the only colour.
    i love colouring with chalks the most, I think, but generally i just enjoy colouring! My latest delight is adding WoS to everything :-) i am addicted to it!

    So pretty and love the centre embossing.

    I love digital colouring and water colouring although I have just purchased Spectrum Noires markers, will need a lot of practice though.

    This is so pretty Bonnie! I love the subtle shading you achieved with your Zigs on the butterfly...so soft and delicate looking! And I love the tall and skinny card base...I will have to try that sometime! :0)

    I'm with you, Bonnie - I love to colour and can't decide which method I prefer. I'm eagerly awaiting the delivery of my Zigs - seeing all the lovely cards people made with them and then trying Loll's finally wore me down and I ordered them. I'm calling them an early birthday present for myself! Love the colours in your butterfly and the shine from the Wink of Stella. And also the shape of your card - it's fun to see a tall narrow card for a change.

    I just love to color. Lately it is always with Copic markers. I love the sparkle on your card. I can't get the hang of that Wink of Stella. I need more practice.

    Beautiful coloring with you Zig markers, Bonnie! I love the softness of the colors and how you added sparkle with your WOS pen...so pretty! Love that you created a long, thin card, too!

    It's been a while since I've done a tall card and I love the embossing down the center, Bonnie. That beautifully colored butterfly tops it off perfectly.

    Sorry for the late commenting Bonnie but, as you probably know, I have been away for nearly all of September (without internet), so have been unable to. Such a beautiful butterfly, stunningly coloured! Have a lovely Sunday my friend! Hazel xx
