Many Ways to Color #18 - Lunar Paste Coloring

I am back again this month with another way to color.  This was a little tricky because you have to work fast. The Lunar paste dries quickly! I dabbed the paste onto my stamp with finger daubers, then quickly stamped them on the card stock. I was able to blend the colors a bit with the daubers when I pounced them on the stamps. They turned out so pretty and shimmery and with some texture too!


Stamps:  Leaves and Pumpkin - Unknown
Lunar Pastes: Sike, Tropical Tango, Roar - Simon Hurley
Embossing Folder:  Tree - Darice
Hello Die - Recollections

Thanks so much for stopping by. You can see I am ready for Fall! Have a great day!

Bio.
I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our generous Sponsors
 for their continued support.

Many Ways to Color #17 - Dot Coloring

Hi and welcome to my blog. I think all of us are ready for Fall! It has really been a hot summer for everyone. I decided to make a Fall card today and hopefully Fall will be here before we know it! 

I decided to call my coloring method "dot coloring." Pointillism uses very tiny dots and is very time consuming. This "dot" method is faster and easier. I used an unused pencil eraser to make the dots on my card. 


Stamp:  Trees - Inkadinkado
Embossing Folder:  3D Leaves - Sizzix(TH)
Die:  Candlewick Rectangles - Spellbinders
Leaf Punch - Family Treasures
Rub On Paste - Gold
Distress Inks - Ranger
Glitter Glues - Gold, Copper, Red

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope we will be feeling cooler soon!
