Karin's Cards

Today, Karin is sharing two beautiful cards that she created using the Bees and Blooms set of digital stamps. She coloured all the images with Derwent coloured pencils and then mixed and matched different patterned papers and pretty embellishments to complete the duo.

Yellow Flowers

For this card, I combined all the images from the Bees and Blooms set to create a little garden montage. Everything was coloured with Copic markers, including the very light blue shading in the background.

Stamps:

Pretty in Purple

Most of the colouring I've been doing lately has been with the no-line technique, where the picture is stamped or printed in a very light shade of grey so the lines practically disappear once the image is fully coloured. In this case, I printed on some smooth card stock and coloured the flowers with pencil. The background was stippled with several shades of cool grey alcohol marker, which helps to ground the image while still giving plenty of movement.

Stamps:

Orange Blooms

Every now and then I like to step outside my comfort zone and work with something I don't generally use - in this case, it's the colour orange. For some reason, it's not a colour I gravitate to, whether in pens and pencils or papers and embellishments.

I'd love to hear if there are colours you avoid.

Do you ever step outside your comfort zone, and if so, have you been surprised by the results?

Judy's Joyful Creations

Take a look at the gorgeous cards Judy has designed, using the Bees and Blooms set of digital stamps. She coloured the images with a combination of Prismacolor pencils and Inkonic pens for a rich and intense blend of colour.

Judy's second card features some patterned paper that she created by repeating the coloured version of the little bees. It's a great way to achieve a coordinated design.

Judy has included some colour charts of the pens and pencils she used to complete her beautiful projects. For more information, or to ask Judy a question, just follow the link below to her personal blog.
