Day-15-30 Day Coloring Challenge

Hi Friends!

Posting after long time. Sorry I have been busy. My niece and some of my students are writing pre-finals of the school final exam. The finals will be board exam in March. This is crucial for them and me as this is the basis on which they get the +2 admissions in colleges. Students of other classes are also preparing for their finals. 

Teaching Maths is always a challenge. No matter how much hard work I do as a teacher and also by the students, the students have this block in their minds against Maths. They perform so well here but in the exam due to some silly mistakes, they loose some marks. 

Still I made some time for experimenting with various coloring techniques. This is what I actually wanted to do in the first place - to try out various techniques of coloring and also mediums.

I also had problem with my Internet. I have to take the photos of my work and edit it before posting on my blog. This does take some time.Actually this part is where I procrastinate ll the time. Because of this, I could not upload daily. 

So I thought I would jump onto Day 15 directly.

I have limited my self to do very small motifs, as I cannot hold anything in my hand for more than a minute and it takes a long time for me to colour even these motives. But still I want to try and exercise my hand as much as possible.

OK, Here it is. I have used this motif. Stamped with black ink and used colour pencils. I have stamped these motifs on white card sheet for experimenting. I may of may not finally use them in my cards or scrap-booking. 

I still need to practise a lot this medium - using of colour pencils before I get it right or at least to my satisfaction. After a long time I am using this technique again. 

What do you think? 

I am having problem with shading the background. Any suggestions or links to tutorials in this regard is what I am hoping to hear from you. 

I have seen some very beautiful entries from other artists, I was not able to comment much. But now I will take time to visit more. It is such a good learning experience for me. So much of talent and so many creative works

I will also post other days work shortly.

A Happy Hello

Hi Friends!.

This is a card I made using stamping technique. Though I have taken up paper Crafts and make Greeting Cards, I am not much into stamping yet. All the while I have been using Punch Craft and recently been using Die Cutting. 

Stamping and Inking techniques - I have to experiment with and get a grip over them. As of now I am a novice in practice. Yes I do know many techniques and am itching to try them. But I am a little reluctant to using stamping technique other than for the sentiments. 

One main reason is the mess. I am always in a hurry and like keep my craft materials and my crafting space neat and tidy. Cleaning out after using the inks is not  something I don't enjoy:).

I also don't have an organised craft space as of now and what space I have is really very small. Most of my supplies are organised in boxes but getting them out is real bother some. 

With me not feeling well and all the health issues, it is taking lot of time to organise them 

Enough of my ranting. Now I have decided to take up stamping for the Coloring Challenge.

Here is my first days work

 These were the stamps, I used.

I stamped images on a piece of white card stock, using black pigment Ink. Thanks to Itsy Bitsy, one of my favorite store, which sells craft materials at such an affordable rates. And if there is a sale, the rate is much lower. 

I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.

The I used color pencils, for coloring the images. Here I have used the masking technique for the banner at the center. While coloring the banner, I have used white pencil first and then pink on top of it. 

Finally, after completing the coloring, I folded a pink card stock of A4 size (again from Itsy Bitsy), and then glued the stamped sheet on to it. My card was ready. 

Sorry for the pictures. There was not enough light and I was in a hurry to finish off.

This is my first submit for the 30 day Coloring challenge. This is also my first linking up for any challenge in Crafts.

Please leave your comments, suggestions as this is my first attempt in stamping. 

Materials Used:

• A4 size baby pink card stock
