My guest today is the lovely Tesa Broman of Tesas Scrap. She makes the cutest cards ever...really. They are always full of detailed layers and rich with happy colours! She's an awesome stamper and plays with mediums for really fantastic effects. And yes, she's one of those superachieving crafters who gets a lot done in just five minutes. Today she shares a five minute colouring experiment and is hosting a image colouring challenge with a fabulous prize for one lucky player! :)
Shall we have a peek at some of her wonderful creations?

Hi! It was such a happy surprise to be asked to be a guest on Yvonne's blog! I adore Yvonne's work and have been a fan for quite some time now - ever since I first laid my eyes on one of her projects. So it's an honor to be here. I'm Tesa, mother of one, working as an Economic Historian and an addicted paper crafter. I've been scrapbooking and card making for four years by now and the scrapbooking scene in Sweden has grown immensly since 2007. I started out with layouts but nowadays I mostly make cards. I love all sorts of stamping and I really, really love coloring figurative stamps with my markers or distress inks. It's pure therapy.
The girl on this card is colored with Tombow pens and a water pencil. That is the easiest way to color an image around. All you need is a good water color paper and a cute stamp and you will have results in minutes. The water color pencil is my best buy this last year and combined with Tombows - wow! :) You should try it! Here is a five minute experiment I did:
Not perfect, but good enough. Especially for a five minutes job.
Hope you'd like to get your markers/pencils out! I'd love to see your cards with colored images! Copics or Tombows or any other coloring technique you like is fine. I have a neat little package of stamps from Swedish manufacturers to one winner, choosen by random.org. I so hope you will play with me!
