Lots of Layers of Love

Happy Friday everyone!  Finally… after a few days off, I’m back in the swing of creating again.

What inspired me this week is the beginning of Kathy Racoosin’s newest Coloring Challenge Road Trip Online Edition course offered on the Online Card Classes website.

So in the course Kathy talks and shares all kinds of great tips and tricks to get you out of your head and get some ink on the paper.  And for me, I just needed a good refresher of why I LOVE what I do.

So today's card was inspired by this fun course.

Without further adieu, I used the glorious “Strong and Beautiful” clear stamp set from Power Poppy to create today’s card.


I used an initial layer of Copic Markers but then added a TON of coloured pencil detail to the image…


This card panel took MANY hours to achieve it's final look but they were all layers of love!

Make sure you check out the rest of my fellow Bloomies for some more Friday inspiration…

Kathy is such a great teacher, I hope you enjoy the class.
Your colouring is always great and this piece is stunning Ally, I love the colouring you did!
Yes coloured pencil takes a lot more time but it's so rewarding.
Thanks for sharing this beauty and have a great weekend.
