Best wishes

 Good morning! We still have amazing summer weather, I just wish it would cool down a bit!

I'm here today with more inspiration from the Joy Clair August new release. My card today is using the Prized Life digital Stamp Collection. I chose to demonstrate how you can still do no line coloring with digital stamps.

I placed the image and sentiment into a graphics program and resized them. I then reduced the opacity on the image to 50% this gave a me a light grey image instead of the black lined. I then printed onto stamping cardstock. I colored the image with Copic markers ensuring that I covered all the grey.

Once my image was colored I matted a black card base with a green cardstock that coordinated with the green leaves. I added my image and finally scattered a few enamel dots on my card.

Gorgeous Giveaway!!!

Good morning - I'm here today with a one day giveaway from Amanda at Faery Ink 

Once a month she does the one day Fae where for 24 hours she makes a new release free. This month is it the stunning Autumn Rose Dragonfly Fae

I was challenged a few weeks ago to try no line coloring so I printed out the light lines version of the stamp and faded her slightly more so I could just make her out on the card

I found it easy to color her in the main but did struggle with her facial features - more practice will hopefully perfect this. Once I'd colored her I fussy cut her out. 

I chose a gorgeous flowery design paper and picked out the dark pink from this and used a card in this shade to mat my card base and my sentiment. I placed my image directly onto the design paper and typed a sentiment on my pc. A few enamel dots just balanced the image

Autumn Rose will be free for the remainder of today but if you miss her she will be available to buy in amongst the Newest Digis this month over in the Faery Ink Store and if you need more inspiration my teamies are also coloring her up and posting on the Faery Ink Facebook Group page
