Sometimes you’re just in the mood to colour something really beautiful, and for me I always lean toward florals. So, I picked up a few images from Alex Syberia Designs in her digi files, this one called Just Wonderful Floral Slimline. Those petals and that sweet little bird stole my heart! They have a November Colour challenge on the blog with a bluey-purple to green palette, so though this design isn’t Christmasy (maybe in the tropics!), the colours work perfectly for the card.
I pulled out my Copics, worked with light blues to purples and then added some fun greens, and then that contrasting pop of orangey-yellow for that adorable bird. After colouring with Copics, I pulled out my Prismacolor Pencils and added in some details to pull some of the colours together better and deepen the contrast between the petals so they pop from each other. This was a really lovely one to spend time on.
The card base is ink blended to coordinate with the colours on the flowers and tie it all together.
The foiled sentiment is from Spellbinders, Yana’s Sentiments Glimmer. I think I want to get more in this style because I use them so often. They are just the right size to add to a card, and the scripty style is so pretty.
Thanks for joining me today for this colouring extravaganza!
