Today I'm sharing two of my favourite cards from this Guest Design work for Penny Black. I kind of had this colourless month of June and these tone-on-tone flowers just became my favorite. Here's the sneaks for today's cards. To see the full cards, please visit Penny Black blog.
I also put my camera rolling while making the first card. You can watch it here or in HD in YouTube. Hopefully you find it helpful and try this technique while making your Christmas cards.

Hi Marika, just saw your coloring and I love how you do that! Will sure give this monochromatic coloring a try! Thanks for your inspiration and sharing your talents!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love tone on tone colouring. Love that you used pencil crayons too. I've done this a few times myself but not with a Christmas card. I may have to follow in your footsteps cause your cards turned out simply stunning! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful . Yes you are an artist
ReplyDeleteStunning is the word that comes to mind. It is mesmerizing to watch your videos and see the beauty come to life. Wow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and amazing coloring!!! I love that you use a lot your Inktense pencils and I was so happy when I saw that you have Coloursoft, too... Please give me your thoughts on Derwent Coloursoft in comparison with Prismacolor or Polychromos. I really want to buy the Coloursoft 72 set, but I don't know if they're good (I can't afford Prismacolors or Polychromos :( ) ... Thank you! Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most unique and gorgeous coloring techniques that I have seen in a long time...I don't know if I'll be able to achieve even close to the same look as you did here, but this will definitely be the technique I try on my Christmas cards this year. Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDear Marika,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these two cards! I'm defenitely not in a christmas mood yet, because here in Switzerland we have around 35 degree celsius - so way too hot for christmas cards :-)
but after watching your video I thought, maybe I will give it a try :-)
So thanks again for the typical "Marika magic"!!!

I could watch you color all day. These cards are stunningly beautiful. You have incredible skills.
ReplyDeleteStunning, Marika, your really remarkable.
ReplyDeleteOh Marika!! I LOVE this. I cannot believe you just used the "shadows" to create this masterpiece. Only a true artist can do something like this. That would not be me. I want to be you when I grow up!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful Marika!
ReplyDeleteHi Marika! Coffee #2 is much more pleasing, thanks to you! Your sense of depth and dimension is unparalleled, my friend... just so serene and beautiful! I'm wondering if Penny Black has a Cotton stamp? YOU would rock it...
