Tuesday….. time for another flower and a fun technique
Wow, I’m so impressed with everyones love of flowers. Not only are they a sign of life after winter, they bring back memories of years gone by and affection for others. I need to get out my botanical book and look up some of the species you’ve mentioned. I have thoroughly enjoyed your stories and passion for our petaled friends.
To continue my Springy blooming theme for the week, I’ve chosen the Sketchbook Flowers stamp to work with today. In this example below, I’ve used Prisma color pencils and a little Gamsol to get some smooth shading.

The video was helpful. I did this recently with water color pencils and they came out good too. Now I feel like I need the stamp you used

David Cook!!! Love your cards - what a great image. Crayon Resist has always been one of my favorites too - so easy to get an amazing look.

It’s so great to see the samples like this… I’ll have to say based on the stamp image alone I would not have thought this a stamp I would like much… but the samples really show how nice it can be… I would never have guessed! And the samples are so different, which really shows how versatile the stamp can be when using different techniques…. great job!
