I like to make two of each card when I can to build up my stash. And I've had more crafting time now that I'm home all day. I don't usually upload both cards, but I wanted to share the results of the two different colored cardstocks that I used this morning. I love this orangey one.
I failed to read the directions for the tutorial that said to emboss my image, but I had a plan where I stamped the image using my Precision Press and left the stamp in so I could stamp over it after I finished coloring. But as I was coloring, I realized it had a cool no line coloring look and decided not to stamp it again. In conclusion, I'm glad I didn't follow the directions properly. I think this is such a cool look with some of the inside of the image that I missed with the bleach and some of the area outside the image that got bleached. I thought about adding something like sequins or Wink of Stella, but these flowers took me so long to color I decided I didn't want anything to take away from them.

What a great way to achieve a no-lines colouring look, Jen. Yep, embossing helps keep the lines in place, that's for sure. Fab effect with the slight bleached "shadows" and great colouring.

I love the coloring on this one too, and like the orange bg the best. You sure are the Orange Girl!!

Beautiful! I find sometimes reading the instructions are over rated - jumping in and just having fun is what it's all about and the results speak for themselves! Awesome card! Thanks for joining my challenge!
