This is one of the freebie images I got from Hambo Stamps... isnt it the cutest??? I made this card for a special person's birthday... It will be mailed out soon. These fellows are all dolled up and ready to rock. Bwahahahahaha.....if ya look real close they look a little confused. Maybe their not sure who's birthday it really is. Well, I guess they will find out soon enough. LOL
I colored them using color pencils, OMS, and a stump. Added some bling to their party hats and will send them on their way!!!
This is how I go about creating my cards....
First, I look at the image and decide whether I want it bright, muted, etc....
Second, after finding just the right paper, I take the paper and image to my coloring table, and color the image to match the paper.
Then, I will add the glitter, embossing powder, chalk the background, etc....depending...
Then I will proceed to cut and layer the card together. Add bling, ribbon, or whatever strikes my fancy at the time.
I rarely color my images first...but I have on occasion and gotten lucky enough to find papers to match. But I'd rather be safe than sorry and color after finding the right paper.
Hope this may help you, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.... I will answer them to the best of my knowledge... I consider myself a "Jill of all trades, Master of none!!" Until later, Birdies.....Gotta split.....TFL !
