Floral Focus

Floral Focus

 

Hey stampers, Anni here!

 

I am so happy to be back sharing cards with you here on the new and shiny Seven Hills Crafts blog.

 

A few weeks ago I had problems with my foot and stayed hom from work. I spent the whole day colouring and had so much fun - what a luxury!

 

 

For that colouring session I chose a beautiful image by My Favorite Things: Floral Focus. A perfect stamp to practize colouring. I stamped the image in a very light ink and started colouring with coloured pencils. What I love about coloured pencils that you can blend nearly any colour into another. Here I went from a very dark red over a pink to a very light peachy colour. When the flowers werde finished I also added shadows around them.

 

 

I die cut Lil'Inkers Design's Stitched Mats: Rounded Rectangles from the coloured image and adhered it to a peachy card base.

 

For the sentiment I needed something clean and simple. I found a sentiment I liked in My Favorite Things' Ewe are the Best. I stamped and heat embossed it in white on a strip of grey cardstock. And that finished up my card.

 

Do you take time for colouring? Or don't you want to spend too much time on one card?

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty weekend.
