I Don't Color, But I Did!
Hard to find a card on my blog that's been colored--other than messy watercoloring with Zigs. But yesterday I did a bit of coloring for my one layer Christmas card.
PTI Botanical Blocks IV was heat embossed on a kraft card. I used a new bright pink gel pen to color the dots & an old green gel pen for the leaves. Debated a long time & finally thought of watercoloring the poinsettias with Distress Stain antiqued bronze--so beautiful & just what this card needed. I'm entering the 30 Day Coloring Challenge, Time Out Challenges, CAS on Sunday, HLS Christmas & WAW. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
