Hi friends!
Some days ago me and my crafting buddy Milla decided to create together although we have not been physically in the same place (we do meet sometimes and craft all days long but this time we didn't). We chose a stamp we both have and made a card with it... Interested to see how different the outcome would be! The stamp we chose is Hello Lovely by Concord & 9th -something we both find a bit tricky to color in. Since I wanted this to be pretty nice, having this "challenge" with Milla and all... This is my fourth attempt! :) I'll not bore you with all the details of what went wrong with the 3 first cards... At least I'm quite happy with this one! This is such a fun image to color if you count out the small flowers (that I colored in with light blue), they somehow don't behave! :) And well, masking this is a pain as well... In this final version I masked only the biggest flowers and leaves and decided I would use so dark Copic colors for the small flowers and branches that they would cover the blue background ink I laid before coloring in the flower. I've added a detail photo so you can see how this looked after taking the mask off -the small flowers and the branches are covered with blue ink but it doesn't matter for the final coloring. Hope you like and thanks for popping by!
