Coloring on Dark Cardstock

Hi there!

Another card with Altenew's Painted Flowers.  This time using just the sketchy outline, and then coloring the interiors with prisma color pencils.



I started with a light coat of white, then added two similar tones for the leaves and petals.

The design is inspired by the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches, and the technique is inspired by Tracey's card at Muse. Both inspiration icons are below.

  

 
Thank you so much for stopping by!

I love that you stamped with this set again...the blooms and leaves look beautiful colored with pencils and the pale gray base really makes those pinks stand out perfectly, Cat! Another really lovely card! Thanks for reminding me how much I love this stamp set :)

This is a very neat idea to use that sketchy outline and color in. It looks absolutely fantastic on the dark cardstock.

I have made zillions of cards with this favorite stamp, but never tried it on colored cardstock. Your card turned out great! Pinning for future inspiration......
