Last night, I doodled this poppy and bud while talking on the phone. The doodle turned out nice, so I decided to color it with my Zig watercolor markers. The worst that could happen was that I messed it up so, if nothing else, it would be good practice. In the end, I was happy with the results!
After I colored the flower, bud, & stems, I thought it
looked a bit bare and needed a leaf.
Well! Instead of looking at some poppy stamps that I have to verify what
the leaves actually look like, I decided to cut a stencil using a Heartfelt Creations
leaf die. Rather than of tracing inside
the negative space of the stencil, I traced around the actual die cut so the
leaf ended up being too fat. Then, when
I colored it with the Zig markers, it got worse! Oh well, practice makes perfect! Once the leaf was semi-acceptable, I decided
to stop messing with it!
I used a black charcoal pencil to draw a line around the
image then smeared it a bit with my finger to give the image some depth. After
erasing away some of the extra smudges, I sprayed the whole piece lightly with hair
spray to set the colors.
After the hair spray was dry, I used my MISTI stamp
positioner for the sentiment. It’s a
good thing I did because I had to stamp the sentiment twice to get a good
impression. I then went over it with a
clear glitter pen to give it a bit of sparkle.
