Day 22-30 Day Coloring Challenge

Here is my coloring for the day.

I have chosen the same small motif. I have stamped it on Ivory white card stock using black ink.

I wanted to try the brush pens. I have absolutely no idea about them. So I thought, I would try them out. I have used Camilin Pens.

This was my first attempt. I used a dark colour. If you look at it closely, there are some areas which were not covered.

This is my second attempt where I tried shading. Again there are some areas which were not covered properly. 

I am yet to gain mastery, at least of some sort over this medium. Used to holding brushes, I find it a bit cumbersome holding these pens since they are much thicker and the tip is brush like. So I had to struggle for getting control over the tip. As of now, I prefer brushes.

But one thing about these pens is that there is no mess of mixing various colours for painting and every time you mix, the shade or tint may vary. So these pens save us a lot of time and energy.

I need to work with these pens. The colours are beautiful. I think I need to experiment with a different paper as base-may be water color paper ?

What do you say?

Day 21-30 Day Coloring Challenge

Hi Friends!

Here is my image for Day-21

I have stamped the image using black ink and used color pencils for coloring. I think its is OK but I am not satisfied especially with the background. I need a lot of practice.

What is your opinion?

Day 19-30 Day Coloring Challenge

Friends, here is may creation for Day 19.

I have embossed a piece of ivory white card stock using Fancy Lattice die from Spellbinders. That is the top layer you can see above. I have glued the embossed layer onto a folded white card stock with pink mat(or is it a layer?).

Then I colored it using chalks with help of Q-tips.  I have used all the four shades. This is the first time I am using these chalks. It was easy to apply as the area I was working on was quite big, without any boundaries like in that of an image.

You can see the die and the chalks. I love this die. It is really beautiful. 

This is how it looked.  I did not know that I had to use a fixative so that the calk does not rub off. 

Can any one tell me whether any such fixatives are available in India? 

I have only two sets of these chalks, one is pink and the other is blue(4 shades each). I searched for them but couldn't find anywhere. Where can I find a complete set of these chalks please.

Can you please send me the details to my mail or leave it in comment section please?

I have just left this card as it is. It needs finishing touches. I will take it up later, as at present, I just don't have time to do anything else.

Watch out for more...
