Happy TGIF! Today I have a tutorial to share using some beautiful Gina K Designs sets and my Spectrum Noir Markers. We all love coloring flowers, but some of those pretty blooms need a place to be like a vase, a flower pot, or a water pitcher. All three of those are usually round and that requires a little bit different coloring technique.
The card I made below uses the water pitcher from the Stately Flowers 9 set along with flowers & sentiment from the Vogue Vases 2 stamp set.
Step 1: Stamp the image on cardstock and select the group of markers ~ I used the IG color family of IG1 - IG5.
Step 2: Using the darkest shade (IG5), color one side of the image.
Step 3: Using the next darkest shade (IG4), color the next portion of the image. Overlap the first color until you get a good blend.
Step 4: Repeat on the opposite side of the image using IG5 and then IG4. Note: I wasn't very careful with the edges because I knew I was going to cut out my image.
Step 5: Add IG3 next, on both sides of the image.
Step 6: Fill in the remaining area with IG2. Keep going over the area with IG2 and IG1 to get a good blend.
Step 7: Use IG5 on the handle. Then add IG4 and IG3 until you get the blend you like.
Step 8: Add a touch of IG6 to the base of the image.
Step 9: Cut the image out with scissors and/or a craft knife. Then stamp the flower images on a card panel and pop up the pitcher or vase on the card.
See how simple that is! If you don't have these shades of gray, substitute with what you have.
