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!
