Thank you, Mary J!

I fancied doing some colouring on Kraft today.  It's something I really enjoy but as I don't often get the time (and it takes time!) I'm often disappointed with the results, especially when it comes to colouring skin.  So I did a bit of preparatory blog-hopping and found Mary J's excellent tutorial (here) on colouring skin using Prisma pencils. 




Now the colouring isn't even remotely in Mary J's league, but I'm pleased with the improvement!

I've kept the card layout really simple, partly because the image is quite big and partly because I always seem to need flat cards for posting - not easy for someone who likes to clabber everything with flowers!  I was very brave and cut into some of my Maja Designs paper, but don't worry, I do have some whole sheets for stroking and admiring!   A wee strip of seam binding and some splodges of white ink using a Stempelglede stamp were the only other additions to the card, so it's as flat as I'm ever likely to get anything I ever make.

I thought I'd enter the following challenges:

Cupcake Craft Challenges - Get your kraft on (colour on kraft cardstock)
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes (option to use kraft cardstock)

Have a lovely evening!

Hugs
