Hello there ladies, and welcome to another E-Team Blog Hop. For this hop we were to use Stampavie stamps, and color them with our favorite medium (i.e.., colored pencils, watercolors, Copics, etc.) Plus we are very excited that the Stampavie Design Team will be joining us today! Don't forget to visit Daisy at eclectic Paperie™ , and leave a comment, she will choose 5 lucky winners randomly between both the E-Team & Stampavie Design Team. Winners will receive a Stampavie stamp plus some other eP goodies. Comments begin Friday May 20th. (today) till Sunday, May 22nd. Daisy will post all winners on eclectic Paperie's blog Monday May 23rd. All Stampavie stamps that eclectic Paperie carries have been reduced by 10% and all pre-orders for the newest releases will also be available and marked at 10% off.
For the last few days I've had bad sinus issues... the weather here in California is cloudy, windy and rainy. When the pressure system is bad, my face feels like someone is pounding on it. All I've been doing the last couple of days is sleeping and watching TV, no stamping here.
For my project today I picked this darling image from Stampavie called Fleur Gathering Flowers with Manon available at eP. Because the detail in this image is so dainty, I thought using black ink to stamp it would look to harsh, so I used the Latte Adirondack Dye Pad instead. I must admit I use the Latte stamp pad more than black to stamp my images, and for that very reason... it's much softer. The cardstock used on this project is from pinkpaislee's Butterfly Garden Collection, it's very soft and pretty so I picked my Copic Markers to match the paper. Once I colored in my base color, and shadowing with the Markers, I used my PrismaColor Pencils to add the little details, and more shadowing. Because the image lines were light to begin with, I use the brown Sakura .05 Archival Ink Pen (Copic Multiliner can be used for this) to sketch in the original lines (not drawing a heavy line, just lightly sketching them back in).
Don't forget you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below.
