Hello!
I've been lusting after PTI's Doodlie-do set for ages now and it's arrival was timed perfectly with Time Out's latest challenge - to use markers on your project:
This set reminds me of the adult colouring books you can buy at every second book store. I love how these books have been marketed as a kind of adult stress reliever - I've been saying for years that colouring is relaxing. It's obviously taken a while for publishers to realise this!
I had a play with Freshly Made Sketch #202 and used a variety of Copics and Spectrum Noir Markers with a little Kindy Glitz on the centre of the bloom and leaves. I added a strip of scalloped card stock to the top of the panel (which seemed to take longer than the colouring as it was difficult to find something that didn't detract from the main image.)
Well. that's enough card blurb from me for this post, hope you have a fabulous week!

Claire, this is so gorgeous!! I'm so jealous of you with this PTI set, I've wanted this one too. Just love how you've coloured it and your right, it is like the adult colouring pages you see now. So very happy to see you at TIME OUT!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE seeing the Doodlie-Do set used:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Claire! Love the doodled blossom! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI've had this set for ages and I think I only inked it up once. I think all those outline images are a bit intimidating when I contemplate coloring them in! You've colored these beautifully and I love the bit of sparkle!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! Love those flowers and how they take centre stage with the neutral background. Thanks so much for joining us at FMS.
