NONNI NISKANEN

Nonni's Handmade Cards

STAMPlorations products Nonni used:

In Bloom: Darling Dog Roses, Bloomtangled ATC #3, Fond Expressions, Framed Daffodils, Stained Glass, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies

I've gold heat embossed the flowers and watercolored them with Sakura Koi watercolors and Gansai Tambi Starry colors. In the first detail photo you can see how the project looked after just one layer of color. In the second photo I tried to capture the golden shine from the Starry Colors before adding the splatters to the panel.

*****

I've colored the image with Copics. I first thought of using just pink, yellow and green but ended up adding blue and red too. The finished coloring project also has a lot of detail drawn in with gel pens.

*****

I've colored the flowers with Polychromos colored pencils. In the detail photo you'll see how the project looked after just one layer of color. I've finished the card with white paint splatters.
