Monochromatic colouring is a great way to practice adding shadows and highlights to add shape to an image. Not worrying about the true colours of objects and just sitting and using a favourite colour is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon... plus you can end up with some great results!
I stamped a selection of flowers from the Cherry Blossom set onto blending card and coloured them with alcohol markers. I wanted a monochromatic look and decided that a nice calming blue would be a lovely change.
I used the matching dies to cut out the various flowers and then built my card up in sections. Some of the flowers I adhered directly to the card base so they were flat, while others were built up with a layer or two of foam tape to vary the heights and give more depth to the image.
