Good evening, well I have been trying something brand new since yesterday and oh my word is it hard!!!!! There are a bunch of mega talented crafters who have started me onto something a little different ..... and I love it!!! Stamping without using the traditional black ink .... sounds easy doesn't it ...... well don't you bet on it!!! I have never felt so frustrated or rubbish in my whole life ...... but having said that, I have never been so pleased with an image than this. I know it is not perfect and I know it needs lots of improvement but oh my, it made me look at colouring in a whole different way. It sure gets tough when the stamped lines start to disappear under your ink rofl .......
I love the softness that results from not having harsh black lines everywhere and have to admit I am kind of hooked already. I have another image (the very first one I coloured this way) to show tomorrow on my Papertake Weekly DT card so watch this space. Thanks to Zoe and her image which inspired me! Also a special thanks to Sheila who gave me a gentle shove (well, more like a nag nag nag) into having the guts to try it.
My image was coloured with my speccies and prisma pencils ...... think I need a lie down now lol

You totally rocked this Marcea!! So happy you gave it a shot because it is just gorgeous! It is sooo addictive but oh so time consuming too! HAHA Definitely deserved that lay down after colouring this beauty! hugs xxoo
Seeing this in super big close up (I clicked it - lol) is even better honey. I do love this technique even though it scare the life out of me! (You know I'll have to try it - although my efforts may not make my blog - hehe.)
Thank you so much for the link to Zoe's blog too, I was wondering how you start off with this fabby technique! :0) Really do think you have done an 'amazing' job with this Sweety.xx
