I have a Double Easel Card to show you today.
You can find the instructions for making
by Christina Griffiths here.
I went to a Spectrum Noir Pencil class
on Saturday and we were given
this image by Justinklined 'Daffodil Patch'
to colour in.
Tutition was by Nicky Hayden
who is on the Spectrum Noir Design team.
Never used colouring pencils before
so this was a first for me.
Needless to say I did not come away
empty handed and now have 3 boxes
of spanking new pencils to play with.
Hard to believe just by looking at the image
but we used 6 different shades of green
just to colour the leaves in.
The jug was easy in comparison as it only took 3!.
I really enjoyed myself and am
already booked in for the next lesson.
Watch this space as it were!
It is week 2 of my Butterfly Challenge
The theme is Thankyou with your Butterfly.
Here is my inspiration for you.
Close up of the flowers again.
Hope I have inspired you to play along this week.

ReplyDeleteWow!! This is fabulous Mrs A. Gorgeous colouring and I do love the double easel card design. I do enjoy using pencils for colouring - although mine are Polychromos ones. Do you use blending solution I wonder? That certainly is great stuff.

ReplyDeleteHi Mrs A
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image and your colouring is superb. . . . . . Has really brought the flowers to life.
Hope the dentist went OK. The Ivy die was about £6 from Oyster Stamps but my goodness, they were slow to dispatch.
Best wishes.

This is lovely...love that fancy fold!
ReplyDeleteYour colouring is wonderful on this. I love the look of colouring pencils...I seem to do better with them than with copics!
The image looks beautiful.
Another style of card I have yet to try. Beautiful work and love your colouring. How lucky to have instructor guide you when colouring.
ReplyDeleteMrs A, this is beautiful! I love daffs, they are my fave flower so this is a winner in my eyes anyway, and I love how you've coloured this image, and your finished card is so lovely, a fab design.

I thought I had already commented ... ? Oh, must have been on Facebook. I'm getting too old; hopping back and forth between the blogs and FB, I lose track! As you know, I was blown away by your extraordinary daffodil bouquet! I love colored pencils, but have nowhere near this talent. I'm so glad you are going back for more classes to bring out even more of your natural talent you have with this medium!! Your gorgeous double easel card is a brilliant way to use snippets and showcase your art!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #3! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI just love what you achieved here with the pencils. Gorgeous card too x
ReplyDeleteThat really is a lovely card Mrs A xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! You colouring is spectacular. I have some Spectrum Noir Pencils but haven't done much with them yet, I must play! xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat easel card, love the shades of orange, those daffodils are lovely too. Thanks so much for joining us for our first challenge over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, good luck and hope to see you for C#2
