Color Therapy Blog Hop

2/21/2022

Welcome to the Color Therapy Blog Hop. Coloring is such a great way to destress and zone out for a bit. Wherever I go, I always have some sort of coloring medium with me. I love using colored pencils which are easy to color with on the go, alcohol markers or watercolor.

Coloring on vellum

Beautiful Details class

The Altenew Beautiful Details class is my 16th class from Altenew Academy. This was by far the most inspired class. Not only did the instructor have a lot of tips and tricks, the card examples and especially the color combinations she used were inspiring. One of the examples was no line coloring on vellum. Please read on for how I put together this card.

Clean & Simple Boutique Cards

For my next Altenew Educator Certification Program submission, we were challenged to make clean and simple cards. Clean and simple can be tough because those embellishments are just screaming to be adhered to your project. The toughest thing with clean and simple is less is more. The Altenew class, Clean and Simple Boutique Cards gave me some great ideas of how to achieve this difficult look. Using metallic elements and lots of white space lends to a great clean and simple card. Using Altenew's great floral sets helps because they come in such intricate and wonderful designs that you don't need much else on the card. Click below to read more about how I made this card.

Watercolor vs Colored Pencils

Recently I’ve been using colored pencils as my go to coloring medium because I can take them on the go. I love the look of watercolor and have wanted to increase my practice of this medium in coloring my stamped images. In this post, I make two sympathy cards using the same stamp sets but coloring the images in with different media. Let me know in the comments which medium you prefer.
