I've really enjoyed playing with color!
Kathy Racoosin's Online Coloring Road Trip has been a great inspiration!
I used a new to me stamp set called Mon Ami to stamp these flowers with
a light color ink and did no-line coloring with Distress ink to color the flowers.
Then I used colored pencils to add depth in
the nooks and crannies like she showed on day one and added some
outlining like she showed in day 3.
I used the same stamp inked up with black ink, again coloring
with Distress inks and adding darker color to the
nooks and crannies.
Kathy showed how you can jazz up an image by using
a gel pen to add dots and dashes.
Here is how it looked when I began with the dots.
And the finished project.
Here they are side by side. Which do you like the best?
There are a lot more tips and tricks in the class. While the class is officially over tomorrow,
you can take it anytime. There's so much good information that I'll be
enjoying this class for a long time!
Thanks, Kathy and friends for sharing your talent.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!
