Hi
there, I have a card to share this week featuring one of the lovely Prima
Princesses, surprisingly large images that are perfect for a little colouring
therapy as I was keen to see what my eyesight could cope with now that I’ve had
one of my eyes sorted out. I really enjoyed it and hope you like how it turned
out.
Ingredients:
That’s Crafty! Dinky Stencils – Floral Background, Punchinella Background
Distress Inks – Spun Sugar, Squeezed Lemonade
Colouring Pencils – mine are Spectrum Noir
A4
Sheet of Pink Card
Recipe:
Stamp
the image on mixed media paper with the black ink. Despite the size, the image
does stamp well but if in doubt about pressure, I can recommend placing the
paper on the floor on a craft mat, laying the image on top and then standing on
it. This may seem strange but it does work! I used to teach classes and this
method used to go down well with some of my older ladies although they did have
to hang on to their chair whilst doing it!
Colour
the image with watercolour pencils, drawing out the colour with a dampened
paint brush, and then add more detail with coloured pencils, particularly to
the flowers.
Use the stencils with the Distress inks to add
some pattern around the image. Just go with the flow until you’re happy with
the effect and then ink around the edges with the pink after trimming the paper
to fit your card blank. As the image is so large, I made my own card blank from
a piece of A4 card, scored in half. You could also use an 8x8 pre-made card
blank if you prefer.
I
added the image panel to a narrow mat of black card for contrast and then glued
it to the pink card blank. I finished off with some Big Chat stickers, which I
coloured pink with the Distress ink before adding to the card.
We
