Crow ~ Prismacolor Coloring Tutorial Card

Hi Everyone!

I did a Prismacolor and Gamsol coloring tutorial for Clearly iStamp blog today using the "Something To Crow About" stamp set that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps.
This is the card I made with the image I colored for the tutorial.



The Sunflower designer paper is from K&Company's - Tim Coffey's Cottage Garden stack.



Here is a peek at the inside of the card. ;)


If you would like to know what Prismacolor pencils I used and see the tutorial, I invite you to head on over to our Clearly iStamp blog and have a look. :)

It's a Crow...a Bluebird..a Crow...I'm so confused!!!! ;)

Hello All!
I did a video tutorial for Clearly i Stamp blog using my "Something to Crow About" illustration that I did for Clear Dollar Stamps, and this is the resulting card.
The tutorial has a bit of a twist.
One...because my crow is now a bluebird.
Two..because I mixed Copics and Prismacolor pencils with Gamsol.
I hope you will go check it out!


The papers are from The Paper Temptress and are:

You heard right...WHITE. ;)  I colored it with my Copics for the perfect matching color! :)


Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hugs,
True :D

Another Card Done With My New Crow Illustration

Hello!
Happy Fall!
This is my favorite time of the year!
I just love the warmth of fall colors! I did this card with a fall pallet and one of my stamp illustrations that I drew for Clear Dollar Stamps.
It is called "Something to Crow About" and is available now!
This is such a fun image to color!
I am thinking that us Kansas folk could use it for a Kansas Jay-Hawk too! ;)
I used my all time favorite ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon again. Hope you all don't get tired of seeing it because I know I won't get tired of using it! LOL!
It is the Moss Swirls plus I added some Black Swirls to the double bow.
I used assorted sized 6 petal flower punches, a leaf punch,  and a corduroy brad to make the sunflower.




I am at a big crop in Topeka, Kansas right now (I love the "auto-post" function of Blogger) but would be thrilled if you would leave a comment for me to read when I get home.
Thanks and Hugs,
True :D
