GDT – Colouring with Pencils Challenge – Alex Syberia!

 Good morning!

I am doing a happy dance as once again I am a guest designer on the KLEUREN MET POTLODEN (COLOURING WITH PENCILS) challenge blog and I had a lovely digital stamp to work with from one of their sponsors the fabulous ALEX SYBERIA DESIGNS.

 

This cooler than cool image is called HELLO GORGEOUS and I printed her out three times to decorate my DL card.

Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy colouring, but I get bored very quickly. So, it seemed like a good idea when I thought, ‘yes, three images; 2 in black and white and 1 in colour, that will look good’ and then I had to actually colour each of them and the idea didn't seem quite so good after all.

 

 

Ingredients:

Digital Stamp: HELLO GORGEOUS

Paper: DCWV

Colouring: Arrtx Pencils on Faber Castell Mixed Media Paper

Dies: - Tim Holtz - Tonic Nesting Stars – Phill Martin Embossed Edge DL – Globe Land Alphabet

 

 

So, grab your pencils and pop over to the KLEUREN MET POTLODEN blog and join in the fun.

Thanks so much for looking and taking the time to comment; I really do appreciate it! Have a lovely day!
