You should have arrived from Mommy Lhey's blog!Samantha Mann created this card, and she really wanted to let the coloring pop, so she went with bright, rainbow colors against a cool grey and white background!
Once the images were colored, they were die cut out with the coordinating Newton's Rainy Day Die Set and then added to the card!
The card was finished by adding some white puffy clouds with the Sky Borders die Set and sequin 'rain'! Ha!

CUTE CARD. Your kitten and duck are colored perfect. My favorite way to color is with some nice classical music low in the background with any coloring medium.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Love the added white stripes and dots, which give the Real feel of rain!
ReplyDeleteAlways wonderful coloring on cards done by the NN Design team. I look to this blog almost every day to see the great creations. For coloring, I used to use colored pencils with a blender pen for fine areas and chalk pastels or sponged ink for large areas that I want to have a softer feel. But I've started getting some Copic markers and love them. I am curious about the Zig Clean Colors too.
ReplyDeleteWow amazing coloring love it. My favorite medium was copic markers. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's beautiful colouring! My favourite ways to colour are either with Polychromos pencils (either with r without blending solution) or Inktense pencils, used with a water brush.
ReplyDeleteI love those bright colours and the soft background! My new favourite way to colour is with Derwent water colour pencils and a water brush. Easily portable!
ReplyDeleteThe card is adorable! Really love the rainbow colors in the umbrella! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coloring! I love my copics mostly because I have practiced alot. But this month I am focusing on watercolors!
ReplyDeleteAwww!!! I'm totally in love for your stunning colouring! This card is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThis is darling!!! I love the sweet image. I just love NN kitties!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way to color is Copics or Chameleon Color Tops markers.
Such a sweet, sweet card. love the adorable critters.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing....
Thanks for sharing this adorable card. The rainbow umbrella is so cute! My favorite coloring medium is alcohol markers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this adorable card. The rainbow umbrella is so cute! My favorite coloring medium is alcohol markers.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh,such a sweet card!
ReplyDeleteI mostly use watercolor pencils but am trying out some Tombow markers.
I don't have a favorite way to color as it depends on my mood that day. Pencils, Copic, diamond painting, Marvy Pens, cross stitching...love it alll
ReplyDeleteHappy to see someone using the Zig markers.
ReplyDeletethose are my favorite markers. Tried
several of the other "big" brands
and didn't have good luck (probably me,
not the markers). Love the card.

I love coloring with everything, but the medium that I find myself reaching for the most are the watercolors. I don't know why they have the power to keep me hypnotized for hours.
