Day 7. Add Black and or Brown

Hello Friends! Welcome to Day 7. I hope your week is off to a good start!

Painting or coloring a background stamp brings me such joy! Love this floral by Erin Lee Creative. I inked up “Sketched Floral” with Gina K. Designs Warm Glow ink and let the joy begin!

To finish off my card the quick and easy way Simon Says Stamp’s sentiment strips always always do it for me. Just a pop of foam tape on the back that’s it.

The first layer of lavender & a green I used Daniel Smith keeping it simple with two colors. Once my painting was dry I used black, brown and bright green to add some details with Karin Markers. I have a quick video if you want to watch.

Do you like the brown and black accents?

Thanks so much for your daily visits and I will see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    Beautiful card, you are so talented. I’m so inspired by your coloring that I’m going to try water coloring too now. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Utterly gorgeous as ever Kathy. Do you ever have disaster days, where anything you touch just doesn’t work out anywhere near how you had it in your head ? I liked the added Brown & black. Stay safe, healthy and most importantly happy creating x
