I stared with the garden song stamp to die for that matches the Bora Bora die. I stamped the image using
black ink and coloured it using the following Graphmaster pens
Flowers yellow 45 & 47 and warm grey 4. leaves green 48 & 59. Outline Warm Grey 4 cream 36 & yellow ochre 101.
I used the warm grey for the centre with a little of the cream 36 around the edges .
A simple image to start as there isn't a great deal of space for shading but Im pleased with this as a first attempt!
More colouring next week,
Enjoy...
Morning John, a very pretty card and great colouring looking forward to seeing them on Saturday's.

A lovely card John. Your use of craft card has helped me a lot - as I have a whole pile of it and have only used it for card blanks. Embossed panels is a great idea. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteMorning John,
ReplyDeleteA lovely card today, I like your use of craft card, I have a load here and now know (sort of) what I can do with it.
Love the colouring, the flowers are lovely.

Enjoy your day

Eh up John
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I bought some markers recently (different brand)but mainly to colour gems/pearls and card edges as I admire coloured pieces but never thought it was for me.
Seeing this lovely card, has made me think I should at least give it a try.
You'll be busy but have a great weekend.

Hi John, I keep meaning to get into this colouring, perhaps now is the time. Lovely card. Have a great weekend. Love Rosemarie X
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card, John. I agree with Jan, the Kraft card is so effective. I enjoy colouring with alcohol pens but must do more. Off to Colemans shortly - could be an expensive trip!

ReplyDeleteGreat theme for a Saturday I don't colour So I will enjoy seeing this Lovely card for the first one
ReplyDeleteLovely card John. The pens look very inviting, but I have tons of the other alcohol markers to use up first.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Rose
Lovely John. Another string to your bow now that you've polished up your colouring techniques! Look forward to seeing more on future Saturdays.
ReplyDeleteJohn, can't say that I enjoy coloring. I find it so time consuming but if it is done properly it does look very nice. I guess what I am saying is that I have not been happy with my results when it comes to coloring.
ReplyDeleteHello John,
ReplyDeleteI used to do lots of colouring but it has been put on the back burner lately! I do like it combined with Dies! Your card is lovely. Looking forward to seeing more.
Love Myra
Good job on your coloring on this card. Looking forward to more of the same in the future.
ReplyDeleteHi John. Your colouring is brilliant. I have both the die and stamp but haven't had a chance to try them out yet. Perhaps next week. Thank you for sharing this card with us.
ReplyDeleteJohn this is absolutely beautiful and your colouring looks
ReplyDeleteperfect to me. I really love the stamp you used.
Hi John,
ReplyDeleteGreat card, love the flowers.
Thanks for sharing,
