Happy Sunday! It's time for another clean and simple challenge with the team from AAACards! Our sponsor for this challenge is Joy Clair... you could win $25 to spend on stamps or digital images! Our guest designer is Coni... please be sure to check out her blog! I also invite you to visit the AAACards blog to see what the rest of the design team came up with!
I had to borrow some stamps from my good friend Bonnie for this challenge. I have a few other hobbies but not one stamp to go with them!
Since it's a one layer card, I couldn't colour with my Copics since they would have bled through to the inside of the card, so I decided to play with coloured pencils (we call them pencil crayons in Canada). I haven't coloured with them in ages!!! I did a little blending on some pieces but I left the books a little grainy looking.
One thing I did that I am glad I thought of, was I left the stamp in my Misti while I coloured this image... I then went back and stamped it again to make the black lines really pop, especially in those spots where the coloured pencils went over the stamped lines.
Items Used:
- Cardstock: Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake
- Images: Catherine Pooler Book & Film; Paper Rose Gnomies
- Ink: Versafine Clair Nocturne
- Etc: coloured pencils
- Tools: Misti
Beautiful one layer card, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteLove your card Nancy. I have many hobbies but no stamps to match so I decided that lazing around in the sun sounded like a good hobby.
ReplyDeleteI think the coloured pencils give a lovely softness to the image, which looks great on that sandy coloured card xx
