Using dark card stock, such as Basic Black shown on my sample, hides any accidental "out of the lines" occurrences...so no worries about being super precise. Using line art verses solid images works better because using bolder images may show your brush strokes. Here's my finished card...
To color my flower, I used the medium shade from each color set...Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Coastal Cabana & Pumpkin Pie. Because I was coloring over the white gloss of the embossing powder, the colors appear more pastel in tone. I even colored my Basic Rhinestone center using my Pumpkin Pie Blendability...I love being able to add jewels and pearls to match my projects. I first saw this technique shared on Mary Fish's Blog, and was super excited to try it. Hope you like this technique as well!
You are now able to order each of the color sets used on this card, plus Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight & the six color Skin Tone Assortment! If you haven't order these yet...you are missing out on a lot of coloring fun! Check out my Online Store to learn more.

ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you! I love this look and would have spent FOREVER to make one card. This is such and easy way to get this look. Thank you for posting such cute cards and great ideas.

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Gotta go emboss and color now :)
ReplyDeleteI love all three cards, and especially the Swallowtail. I remember the spotlight technique, so I'm glad to see how you put a modern twist on it with the beautiful butterfly stamp. Thank you for the great ideas.
