Hello again! Today I've come back to my Penny Black Ebullient stamp set. I recently stamped all four images and they're ready to color and cut out. This is #2 in the process. It will be one less stamp set in my NBUS basket.
Coloring was done with my trusty Tombow markers and blender. The blender is a blank Copic marker filled with a homemade blender solution. I've linked to it many times, but here it is again: Homemade blender. Mostly I like to apply some color with a marker, then dab at the edges with the blender.
The die cut background was pulled from my spare parts -- an experiment from quite some time ago. It's a combo of older die sets, brushed with ink. Not perfect, but usable.
I'm playing along in another favorite challenge today:

A gorgeous card, so full of Spring sunshine which we all need about now! You are a whiz with those Tombows, and I agree a lot less costly then the Copics which don't seem to last long at all! Beautiful colors and beautiful background die!!
So very pretty. I love the image on the bright die background. You do such an awesome job coloring up your flowers.
Oh so delicate and pretty. Hope you had a nice Valentine's...
We're in FRIGID temps again and so far a foot of snow fell and lots more scheduled - sigh. I'm hibernating
Have a great day
I love the flowers and the way you colored them. I have made some of the blending solution - I just need to remember to use it!
So gorgeous Leslie! Beautiful photo too! I wonder if I could use yellow?! lol You used it wonderfully! I have a sister that loves yellow and one granddaughter that loves yellow! I'm scared of it! lol
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Leslie!! You've colored that bouquet so beautifully and I love the bright die cut background too! Lovely, lovely card that's sure to bring a smile to someone's face!! Hugs. :0)
Beautifully colored and blended flowers and vase, Leslie. Pretty die cut background from your stash too. Are you snowed in? We had about 3+ inches then took a 2 hour nap and woke up to about 1/2 of it gone, especially off the trees because of snow mixed with rain and 37 degrees. Now it has started snowing again. We are prepared in case we lose our power. Denny is keeping our wood stove going constantly with myrtlewood for a nice warm fire:-) Stay warm and cozy. Love and Hugs..
Awww Leslie...I sit here in 15° weather wishing for a nice spring feeling like this card!!! Beautiful die and great use of your stash! That's the best when you find elements that work like this! AND thanks for sharing with us at Penny Black Saturday Challenge! ♥ Sue Kment
Oh my friend...you do play well with color! Such a lovely combination and I do think I need to try the homemade blender solution! I never learned to play with markers and do better with ink and brushes.
My love for your darling vase-full of flowers extends to this GORGEOUS frame, Leslie! WOW do I love it!! 'Dutch daisies' = tulips to me and I spotted them right away!
Such a bright spot of sunshine you've added to my gray morning! Thanks!

Hi Leslie! I am always in awe of your colouring skills, the shading and the colour combinations. Another beauty! I hope you and the family are doing well
Your vase of flowers is so pretty, especially on the bright and beautiful yellow frame. xx
Beautiful coloring as usual, and the design is eye catching.
Gorgeous bouquet in that lovely vase! if you fussy cut that you did an excellent job that is a lot of tiny things to go around. I like your inking on that fancy background die, nice when you already have things ready to put on your card, so sweet!
Another reminder of how much I love this stamp set and you've colored it so beautifully, Leslie! Those red flowers are gorgeous with the bright yellow intricate frame! I can't wait to see how you use the other stamps in this set!
Oh, sunshine! Love the yellow and gorgeous details on the frame. The florals are a sweet spot to rest your eye, and I love the coloring. You did some tricky fussy cutting too. This is a stunner, Leslie! I have to comment on your photography skills too. I'm alway admiring how you change your props for each project!
Just what I needed to see - some Spring flowers as I watch it snow off and on! I love Penny Black stamps and this bouquet is so pretty! So nice that you have have these frames in your spare parts! Hope all is well!
That bold yellow die cut makes the perfect background for your wonderful pot of lilies (at least that's what they look like to me) that have been perfectly coloured, as usual xx
So gorgeous! Your blooms are coloured so perfectly. I think your die cut background is a perfect backdrop for your florals. Simple yet elegant. Love this! You always have the most beautiful display area for your cards. Have a wonderful day!
LOVE this vase of flowers and that bright yellow background really bring your pretty bouquet front & center! Your coloring is always so spot on! Beautifully done my friend!!
It has been a busy week, but my family left yesterday and now I have the time to make comments on my favorite posts. I have such delight for this simple image on the scrolly background. They make a fab design and I am now looking at joining the challenge at Penny Black. Hope I have the time.
Hi Leslie, sorry for not visiting recently. I've just come back from 3 weeks in Wales and now checking in on you beautiful posts :)
That vase of flowers is so pretty ♥
