I've been inspired by the colouring of backgrounds by my talented team mates using the new Big Bold Background stamps. I also wanted to try Miranda's technique of stamping with white ink and then colouring over top with Pencils.
I stamped the Floral Damask Background with Brilliance Moonlight White onto a sheet of Basic Grey paper that has a slight variance in the colour. I decided to colour/highlight the centre portion of the Floral Damask design with my Prisma Pencils and left the rest to 'fade' out.
Once I started to colour the detailed design of this beautiful image I fell in love with it a little more!
Thanks for stopping by and have a Happy Easter!

Stunning card, I love it
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Greetings, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this technique. The fading out of the pattern is a lovely idea & this has become an extremely striking piece of artwork with your use of red, white & black. The white pearls & your base matting layer really exude an incredible glow.

Hello Shirley

Hello Marg, I understand that many white inks will work. I used Brilliance Moonlight White by Tsukineko. I have also had success using Versacolour White. Miranda suggested that Colorbox is a little greasy. I haven't tried Stazon but it may work, you just need an outline to colour over with your pencils. The Big Bold Backgrounds are wonderful for colouring. Cheers, Shirleyx
