Sharing a third card in my self-challenge to use different coloring mediums with the same stamp set. This time I've colored the Beautiful Day stamp set from Altenew with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils - No Mineral Spirits.
First. This is a lovely set to color especially if you're practicing shadows and light. Each time I color this set I'm more confident about where they should be. And maybe that is the plus in doing this exercise - "practice"
I wasn't as happy with this layout as I was with the first two, but, it's paper and it can be done again. And that's what this is all about isn't it -- learning as we go.
I think I like the look of the second card using the Zigs, although I was bummed when I found out they are not light fast.
This took two days to finish, but using a new color kept the design fresh and interesting. I tried to go slow and concentrate on the process. My final card will again use this stamp set, but I will do it using a professional tube watercolor (Schminke or Daniel Smith). We will be traveling soon so I may not be able to get to it for a week or so. But I promise that I will share it with you as soon as it's done.
I hope you've enjoyed my small exercise and will consider trying this for yourself.
Happy Crafting friends!
Sincerely,
Susie ~

Pure gorgeousness! Thank you for sharing your creations. I can study them when I want to color this set. I love the variation you achieved in your shading and hues.
