Today we are highlighting this beautiful set from Theresa Momber called Peace and Joy! Below is a short tutorial how I colored my cardinal.
To select the colors for my cardinal, I picked all of the colors from the Spectrum Noir Reds pack & scribbled the colors on a small piece of cardstock so could select which ones to use. I started on the belly with a CR10 marker.
Next I used a CR8 marker and overlapped slightly.
Next I added CR11 and finished coloring the bird.
Then I added some TN3 all over to add just a bit of tan.
To try and add just a bit more shading, I added Spectrum Noir pencil 033.
After coloring the holly leaves with DG2 and DG4, I added Spectrum Noir Blendable colored pencils 057 & 106 for a bit more color. For the berries, I used DR1 & DR5 and then added some white gel pen & Glossy accents.
Now it's time to hop along and see what other wonderful inspiration the designers have to share today.
