Hello friends. I have been having fun coloring; trying to take my mind off of all my aches and pains. LOL! It works most of the time. I get lost in coloring an image; so much that I lose track of time; and forget to eat or drink anything. I think it is a healthy addiction; up until I don't eat. I have a hard time stopping once I start something.
I used a fabulous image called Ching-Chou Kuik Moon Journey. I have been wanting to use this digi ever since I first saw it; but was afraid to try coloring it. I see so many wonderful cards out there; that I feel my coloring just isn't there yet. I thought this one turned out really pretty; and not bad for the coloring. I guess I will get better and better the more I do it. I love coloring all the pretty different colors of hair. I was stuck on blond; so now I am stuck on pink, blue and purple. LOL! It took me a long time to get comfortable coloring with these colors. I tried many times; and just couldn't get it to look right. I think I am getting better with those colors now. I hope you enjoy my creation.

Beautiful Card.. FAB coloring and Beautiful Color combination.. But I do find some pink on your card..!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at ATSC! Hugs Sol
It is lavender; not pink; although I guess that can be considered in the pink color family. It does say "a little bit of pink" is allowed; but not your main color. Sorry. I used all lavenders and purples to create this card. The part that looks pink is lavender. Thanks for the comment. Hugs, Gloria
DeleteGloria, what a fantastic card you have made that fits in well with the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration and Challenge Blog Monthly Challenge this month of “under the sea”. Thank you for entering and best wishes in the draw. Kym (Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Design Team Leader). PS If you would like to be a future Guest Design Team Member please make sure you add “GDT” after your name on your entry for the challenge or write a comment in the comment box. PPS Hope you are feeling a little better. I think crafting is good therapy as I know when things are tough I can "lose" time with my crafting and that can only be a good thing
