I tried coloring this image 5 times. I printed it on regular card stock and first used coloring pencils and then FibraColor markers. The colored pencils showed the texture of the paper, so I didn't like that. And the markers bled some odd way... So off to Michaels to see what I could do. Copic markers were a little too pricey for a not so sure commitment ... and after being there some time I decided to try using Canson Marker Bright White paper. It is perfect for markers and pencils. 50 sheets for about $5 with my 40% coupon! I was pleased with the outcome this time. The paper is very thin, so I should mount it on white paper before adding another layer next time.
Here's my first try...
Isn't she cute? The paper is Bazzill Basics Red Devil and the stamp is Michael's craft smart for $1.
I'm thinking my daughter's Crayola coloring pencils aren't going to make it much longer... Perhaps some other coloring pencils will work better... Not sure which kind...
I love this card! it's so sweet, reminds me a lot of you :D love ya paisan!
ReplyDeleteI abolutely love that I inspired you. Did you notice their other adorable freebies. Free Digital Stamps has a daily post that I follow. I am a newbie at using Copics. I was able to take a class at my LSS before it closed. I only own around 30 colors that I purchased over time. Sweet card...love the yellow against the red. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThat little girl is so cute. I have to agree with Linda that the color scheme of the yellow against the read is very striking.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card Diane. Love the little girl image and your coloring. Thanks so much for playing!
