We
are currently having a rainy night but freezing rain is expected later on.
There was a short-lived freezing rain shower mid-afternoon but then it turned
to rain again. I’m glad I got all my errands done this morning and I won’t be
leaving the house tomorrow.
Today’s
card is another free flower image downloaded from the Internet. Tulips are my
husband’s favourite flower and I must admit they are one of mine as well.
These
were coloured with Prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol – of course – my
favourite way to colour images. I do have some alcohol markers but they are not
Copics and I’m just not too happy with them so I just keep going back to my
pencils. The stitched oval is from a Stampin’ Up die and the larger oval is
from a Spellbinder’s die. The paper and ribbon is all from my stash. Once the
card was completed I added Wink of Stella to the tulips and some of the leaves.
The camera makes it look very shiny but in real life it’s just a hint of glimmer.
That’s
all for a wet and possibly slippery Monday, January 16, 2017.
Cheers
Violet

Love love love your tulips Violet... I love tulips too... I can remember my grandmother having a huge rectangle flowerbed right by the front porch when i was little and it was full of tulips...made quite the impression as i still remember it to this day..
ReplyDeleteI was wondering something about the Gamsol... Ever since you made me aware of it and i have used it to blend my Prismacolor pencil i have always used a blending stump to do that... But i watched a video the other day on YouTube.. Lachri fine Arts i think ... any way she blended hers with a paint brush and Gamsol... have you ever done that or is that the way you normally do it.. I tried and i really liked the results..Stay warm! Hugs! deb
