I selected vellum for this card as I wanted to use coloured pencils.
Why vellum, I hear you ask? Well, vellum has 2 advantages when it comes to coloured pencils: the first is that the paper has a texture that grabs the pencil, allowing more colour to be applied, the second, because it is semi opaque. a second layer of colour can be applied to the back for even stronger depth of colour.
First I stamped the flowers from the AALL & Create "In The Wild" stamp set (#529) in white pigment ink . Then I coloured on top with the pencils.
The image and its mat have been die-cut with the AALL & Create Splodazzlers set (#33).
Finishing touches are some of the little "bits" from the same die set and small brads I have coloured with nail varnish (in pink) and embossing powders (the black and the white brads).
To enter the challenge, hop on to our friendly group here and upload your project to the challenge album. You could win the fabulous prize pictured below, one of the just released Paper Artsy stamp set from the Country View Craft shop.

Gorgeous card Christine, the flowers are beautiful. xx
ReplyDeleteThe choice to use vellum for its unique qualities is inspired, and the results speak for themselves. The layered coloring technique creates such beautiful depth and richness, and the addition of customized brads adds a delightful personal touch. This card is truly a work of art!

Ah oui, c'est super délicat et joli !! On s'en rend bien mieux compte en regardant la photo de ta carte sur ton blog, par rapport à Instagram... Plus les explications qui ne gâchent rien et augmentent l'intérêt évidemment... Décidemment, la consommation de photos sur les réseaux ne font pas honneur à nos créations, snif...
ReplyDeleteBravo pour cette très belle carte, j'essaierai de participer au moins une fois à tes challenges ! :D
Bisous
Et je n'ai jamais essayé de colorier sur du papier vellum... Mais oui, il a un grain agréable à travailler au crayon c'est certain ! ça me donne bien envie d'essayer héhé !! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and colouring! Thank you for sharing at Polkadoodles Craft Challenge. Hope to see you again!
