Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I had so much fun coloring this card!
A sweet friend sent me some pressings from her Betterpress collection and I have been
squeezing in a few minutes every day to color. This time I colored with Zigs.
I hadn't used them for a long time.
The color really soaks into this paper which is a good thing for rich color,
not so good for lighter colors. So I swiped some on my palette and picked up
the color with my waterbrush for the lighter shades.
I wondered if my mini slimline dies would fit in the sentiment space and was
happy to see that this one fit well.
I've had this sentiment for many years and rarely find an opportunity to use it.
It was so much fun that I colored another Betterpress image also shared from another friend.
Crafting Friends are the BEST!
This time I colored with Distress re-inkers, markers and inkpads smooshed on a palette.
challenged herself. It's a good way to get inspired! I used Zigs and Distress inks.

Two beautifully colored pieces, Bonnie! Your Zigs were exceptional for adding all this gorgeous, bright, saturated colors! I adore that first plate - must remember to press a few more of those next time we gather!
ReplyDeleteI saw a few Forsythias blooming yesterday - wish I could say they were in my own yard!

Isn't it nice to just sit and color for a while? I have to be careful or time can get away from me. Your coloring is fabulous on both card, Bonnie. I find it easier to use Zigs so it's good to know you can use it on Better Press paper as well as Bristol. I say that knowing I won't be coloring any BP images. ;)
