Stampin' Pals: Colouring With Blends

Colouring With Blends

Often when I need to relax, I will do some colouring. The card on the left had been a sample for my June classes, in black & white only. One evening after class, when there was nothing on TV, and not much happening around home, I began to colour the images.

As the card was already fully assembled, I've only been able to colour as far as the top of the curvy border, but that's okay.

Stampin' Up! stock a number of different colouring options. Watercolor pencils is one choice, with 2 different packs of pencils on offer. Pastels are a new addition to the range, which I haven't tried yet and Stampin' Blends, our alcohol markers are my favourite by far. I like the way you can keep on blending until you have a really smooth finish, and practise really does help.

We had used this stamp set for another card in the June Class, but not this one. I just stamped it in Old Olive and began to colour with blends. I had pre-sewn some of the ribbon for the ladies to use on their cards, but not all the packs were used, so I included a piece of ribbon on this card.

Do you enjoy colouring? What is your favourite medium to use?
