Dinosaur Card

-
First off, some news! I am very excited to have been chosen to be part of Hunkydory's For The Love Of Stamps Design Team! I can't wait to share my samples using their gorgeous stamps!


I would also like to thank the team over at Crafty Friends Challenge Blog for choosing me as one of their top 3 in challenge 68. The post for the MDF plaque that I entered can be found here: https://lillys-craftcorner.blogspot.co.uk/2017/10/mdf-plaque.html


Now onto the card itself. For this post I am showcasing a card with a hand-coloured image. I love colouring in stamps, whether it be with alcohol markers, coloured pencils or watercolour pencils (or any other colouring medium I can get my hands on!).




The image is off one of Crafter's Companions CD roms that come with their magazine - it's from their Scruffy Little Kitten Range. I used coloured pencils to colour this one in; it's surprising what nice effects you can get just with cheap children's colouring pencils! I matted the image onto green and used one of the papers from Sara's Signature Just For Men range as the backing paper.




I'll be entering this one into the following challenges:

Today I'm sharing my samples made using the brand new Hunkydory Prism watercolour pencils. I had such fun working with these pencils as I'd not used watercolour pencils in quite a long time, and these pencils were just a joy to use. This card uses one of the new FTLOS watercolour wonders stamp sets as well as some of the older FTLOS stamp sets for the butterflies and bees. I've also used one of the watercolour wonders stamp sets for this easel card I've used masking with one of the new watercolour wonders stamp sets to create this DL card. This card uses the FTLOS Fly Away With Me stamp set. I've used the FTLOS Up, Up and Away stamp set on this CAS card.   I've stamped the FTLOS Lovely Lilies onto kraft card for this card. This card has been made using the FTLOS Forget Me Nots stamps and the Blossoming Blues stamp set (for the butterflies).  I've heat embossed the Forget Me Not stamps onto kraft card wi
