Okay…here it is. My first ever attempt at coloring a stamp. Be gentle! Haha! Stacy from the Crafter’s Companion Challenge Blog encouraged me to try and practice, until I finally gave in! Thank you Stacy! I don’t think I have a new calling or anything, but I did have lots of fun and am continuing to learn. Now I just need to find a new stamp to practice with…I’ve colored these poor cuties in every color combo imaginable!!
The stamp I used was the Crafter’s Companion Strawberry Kisses, Friends set. I used water soluble inks and a blender pen to color the image. Today, my order came from Amazon (check out how I got it for free by earning Amazon gift cards on THIS POST
) with some watercolor pencils and a water pen. I can already tell it’s WAY easier to color this way than with inks and a blender pen, but it’s definitely going to take some practice!!
I think it is wonderful!! You did a great job!! Look how good you did the shading!!! I'm so happy you entered the challenge at Crafter's Companion USA Challenge blog! Good luck!!!
hugs, stacy
I think you did great!! I would never have known this was your first time colouring in a stamp!! The puppies are so cute!!

P.S I have enought swag to get almost $15 to amazon, thanks for letting me know about it!!
Wow I thought you said you cant color? Amy this is beautiful. You'll have to teach me my friend.
Hi Amy, really your first attempt at using water colors? It looks darn fantastic to me. If I had done this caliber of work I would be making a lot more this way because this card is too stinking cute, the colors are so soft just like the subject matter. I guess you used watercolor paper? Thanks for joining Cissy and me at the hop.
