I've heard how Cryogen cardstock is good for Copics and pencils. I didn't care for it with Copics, and now that I've tried pencils with it I can't say I'm a fan of that, either. My particular Cryogen cardstock is years old and maybe it's different now. I don't know. I will try again with another idea. Colorers who are far more skilled than me have recommended Cryogen, so please don't consider my judgement final.
But... isn't this is a pretty digi stamp? I want to show you the whole set:
You can see I enlarged the smaller image quite a lot just so I could focus on these cute flowers and the berries. Marcella says these flowers are Primroses, but they can be anything you want them to be. My crazy dotted background is done with Copics. Just playing around.
Well, that's it for me this week. Let's see what my Powerhouse Teamies have been up to:

I hope you're all well as we head into the weekend. I'm retired, so it's all the same. Today I'm enjoying a picnic day with Rich and the dogs. Everything is closed up, but we know where to go. A day out is just what I need. Take care!

Leslie this is so gorgeous. Wonderful coloring and colors.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a day out for a ride, Leslie! I think that may be what I needed!
ReplyDeleteYour coloring on these flowers is so beautifully done! I love the deep red blue and green and your details are wonderful. Can I say amazing, dazzling even? The black mat adds just the right balance to the boldness of the colors.
What an absolute gorgeous card! Your coloring is always fantastic but this card goes to the top of the list. Your playing around is amazing! What a nice thing - a picnic!! We are still struggling to get some spring. Rain and snow is expected tonight and tomorrow. Have a wonderful Mother's Day!

AMAZING colouring of this beautiful image Leslie! I love the vibrant colours you've used for your flowers. And the dotty background is very artsy and fun! xx

ReplyDeleteI'm loving all the dots you've added to the background, they really enhance your lovely flowers. Stay well. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, as usual, Leslie! I always love your coloring. I hope you enjoyed your outing. We went on a picnic/outing last Sunday with our son and his family. It was a great time and we were able to stay away from others.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! This is just AMAZING!!! love everything about it, all the different elements and the colors - just a wonderful creation for sure to be enjoyed and treasured :)

WOW! How'd I miss this beauty? Must have been all my outside work getting in the way of computer/crafting ... let's see Friday post ... yep that's the day the mulch was delivered and we were out all day mulching. LOVE your design and the colors are glorious! And, I really like how you did that dotted background ... looks awesome! You staged this card just perfect with that adorable & beautiful china piece (bird I'm assuming). The colors are the same and just beautiful! Thanks for always inspiring me and lifting my spirits with your beautiful creations.
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE your colored pencils. This turned out way better than my tries. This is rich and adore that you enlarged the blooms. Beautiful!
