over at just add ink this week is a colouring in challenge
as a kid i loved colouring in
as an adult however...meh...
so i find it out of my comfort zone to buy stamps for this use and then to actually use them
i have used a variety of stamps of various sets to make up my little setting
i wanted my card to be plain and simple without any frippery or fluff
i used a blender pen and ink pads to colour in with
and added a bit crystal effects to get some lift to the colours.
here's more of a close up so you can see the graduated colours and shading better
i also want to say that the stampin up paper snips ROCK
it was a complete biarch to cut this out but they made it sooo much easier
and thanks to chloe with her koalas i'll enter this in the secret crafters challenge too!!!

Firstly, thanks for the giggle. U have just made Frippery my new favourite word. Never heard it before but love it. PLUS you did an awesome job of colouring. I too am attempting one of my first colouring in jobs tonight and now you have me scared. Because yours looks awesome and the blending is great. May have to investigate those snips, because scissors are not my fav tool. Love your work. Its so cute. Enter it in Secret Crafter (image with household items) challenge too! x
