Purple Primroses...coloured! is

Happy Wednesday,

It's another sample form my Shows at the beginning of this week as I thought you might all like a closer look!  I have to admit although I'm not much of a colourist I love how this one came out.

I stared by stamping the daisy Daisy heart rubber stamp in watering can archival ink onto bright white foundation card.  I then coloured the image using seedless preserves distress markers around the edges.  Next I pulled out the colour using a water brush.

Next I drew a square on another piece of bright white card and stamped the corner flourish, from the Primrose elements clear stamp set, again in watering can along the edges of 2 opposing corners of the square.  I cut the square out by hand and coloured the flowers in the same manner using Shabby Shutters for the leaves and spiced marmalade for the flower centres and the shading on the leaves.

I made up the card as shown using a shaded sentiment from the primrose everyday sentiments in the centre and a set of embossed an matted layers at the back.

A simply coloured image but hopefully effective.








The winners of this weeks completion are

The Card on Monday
Stephanie Cotterill

The Tuesday demo pack is
Norah McPhee

If you email me your address on Lockers@live.co.uk I will get the prizes sent to you!

More chances to win next week!


Enjoy...

    Good morning John,
    Such a pretty card and the colouring of the flowers certainly coins the phrase " Handmade" not "Homemade".
    You say you are not a colourist, but these look great. Hope you have recovered from Hochanda 's frenetic Monday. Congratulations to the winners!!!!
    Love and crafty hugs

    Good morning John,
    Oh what a beautiful card you have made with your heart stamp and the cascade of beautiful flowers and in such a pretty colour of lilac. This one card that i got to see you make before the TV got taken from me and i just fell in love with it. I think this card could be for so many occasions but i would have made it for my Mum as she would have loved it. Thank you John for your inspiration that you give to us each day.
    I am one of your lucky winners John and would just like to say thank you so much for giving away your demo kit that you prepared for the shows, i look forward to it's arrival,
    crafty hugs

    Love the card today John. The stamps are fab. I had completely forgotten the technique to die cut images that are too large to fit into the area of the die. Thanks for the reminder.

    Afternoon John, sorry late today as I have been at craft club all morning. Loving the card today, hopefully my stamps will come out soon, I love the papers too. Oh and I tried the mica powders yesterday by mixing with water and matching the colours up to one of Phill's paper pads, I was really pleased with myself....well it doesn't take much.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    John this a gorgeous and very pretty card.
    I love the way you have cut the detail in the corners and left the rest
    of the square intact.
    I saw you demo it and was amazed then and I am amazed again.
    As for your colouring in and shading it is perfect and I really love all of your stamps,
    one day I will have the collection.
    As I definately would love to make this card.
