I love pulling out ALL the colours when I colour. For me it’s fun to add lots of tones and shading, but then there are times when you need to get a project done a little more simply. I wanted to do some sweet and simple Valentine notecards for my kids and some friends, so I printed out 6 little scenes from Power Poppy’s Va Va Valentine’s set and decided to work with a limited palette of red, orange and gray/black. That way the colouring didn’t involve a lot of extra choice and would go quickly. Once I got to a couple of the images with leaves, I did have to add a bit of green to the mix.
Once they were finished it gave such a nice cohesive look to the designs. I used some dies to cut out the images to keep it very simple.
Next up, little patterned paper note cards...

These are super cute, Christine!! And great tip to limit your color pallets!! This set has always looked a little intimidating to me but I will try the idea out on another set hopefully.
