Hi there! Sorry it's been so long since my last post!It looks like it's starting to rain a bit now outside here, but at least it's a bit milder today! I can't believe we've only been living in our new house for just over a month, and it feels like we've been here for months and months!
For my card, I was about to colour my image when I saw my mum's Polychromatic pencils and I thought she wouldn't mind if I had a little go, as I usually use Pro Markers.
I am so pleased with how this image turned out on my first attempt and pleased that I've found a style of colouring that really suits me! I really enjoyed the colouring and found it quite easy to get the hang of, probably because I'm used to shading and rendering because of art at school!
Mum better watch her pencils now, hee hee! Also, it means I can try colouring much more delicate and intricate images, because before I would be worried about using an image like this because my Pro Markers tend to bleed over the edges in the very fine areas.
I went for a sepia effect on this card with the colouring and tied it in with the browns and neutral colours in the papers, and I'm pleased with how it turned out.
I'm sad that I used that last of my Tim Holtz tickets though!

Georgia this is beautiful, your colouring is so good for a first time with the polychromatic pencils and it looks good against the colours of the background.

Hi Georgia,
What I could see of your card was fabulous, the colouring (if I can call it that?) is superb, but there were two gaps in your post where I think there should be pictures?
BTW there is an award for you on my blog.
Have a lovely weekend.
