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

Hello All!

Make sure to read to the bottom to see how to win my latest digis!

 It's digital release day over at Clear Dollar Stamps and I did 2 this month!
The first card was done with my "Autumn Friends" set.


That pretty ribbon is Moss Swirls from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
This is such a fun image to color and can be used for a general Fall card or for Halloween. It is just $3.00 and you can download it instantly HERE.



My second card is done with my other September digi. It's called  "Autumn Blessings".


 It colors up so quickly but yet you can use it for a down home country card up to a very elegant card depending on the cardstock and papers you choose. Very versatile! It is just $2.50.
Download it instantly HERE.
