Friday

I've been enjoying the process of colouring images...



Relax-and-enjoy-card 

Of late I've been enjoying the process of colouring images. It's really therapeutic and a way to do something creative without the need to pull out a million craft supplies [I'm sure you know what I mean...*winks*].   


The downside to it is that I've been staring at people in public places. A lot. Seeing how the light hits their skin and hair so that I can colour them better. *LOL* And watching lots of YouTube videos on colouring. 

Supplies: Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps image: Suitcase Ruby, Graphic 45 patterned papers, Ranger distress inks, Jenni Bowlin pearls, SRM stickers, Copics, brad, lace trim, corner rounder.


P/s: Relax and enjoy your weekend friends. If you have some creative time, come play along with my guest Hussena's challenge and LESSology Challenge #1: Fun with envelopes!

This is a gorgeous card.. It gives me a very oriental feel... And staring at people.. Good idea.. I could probably take this idea up and try it out myself... Super card Yvonne!

I think that's a better reason for staring at people than most ;) lol! Although something strange to explain if they ask!
Love the papers you've used here - and her little suitcase outside the oval :)

Nice work...love the paper piecing.

I've been trying to get the hang of copics and people coloring by forcing myself to use my copics...practice practice practice.

happy weekend!
