Freesias with bright colours

Hello,


Hopefully you all are doing well. Thank you so much for your kind comments left on my last post. I've read them all but I hadn't time to visit back, which I'll do shortly.

Today, it is my turn again to host Altenew blog. I had fun with my copics and no-line colouring today. Here is my card:


Stamps used: Fresh Freesia, Painted Poppy and Baby Zoo.


Stamps used: Fresh Freesia, Painted Poppy and Baby Zoo.
I also made a video tutorial how I used a couple of masking techniques and how I coloured this flower. I also shared some thoughts of mine what goes in my mind while I colour. Hopefully you found them helpful. And for those, who struggle getting one's hands in Neenah card stock, my friend Nonni and Milla found this Canson Bristol paper that is easier to find (at least in Finland) and I'm finding it quite good for copic colouring.

You can watch my tutorial here or in HD in Youtube.



Supplies:
Stamps: Fresh Freesia, Painted Poppy and Baby Zoo by Altenew
Inks: Memento Cantaloupe and New Sprout, Altenew Jet Black Ink, Wild Honey Distress Ink.
Paper: Canson Bristol 250gms card stock
Copic Markers: Y13 - Y15 - YG11 - YG03 - YG67

Thank you so much for stopping by today. See you soon!

  14. Oh my goodness Marika!!! when I opened this post and those flowers showed on the screen, it was like the Sun suddenly came into my craft room. I sat here just admiring the colors and the beauty of this arrangement then, I got me some coffee and came back to my chair, sat again and quietly enjoyed seeing you create this masterpiece.
    I'm just in awe of your incredible talent, thank you, thank you for sharing it with us.
    Many hugs,
