Sometimes I enjoy stamping and masking a detailed scene. But sometimes it is fun to add a simple coloured background to an image. Starting with just a stamped image on a piece of paper, there are so many possibilities. The more you do it, the braver you become, and more possibilities open up! I kept it really simple on today’s card, just adding a blue sky, a hedgerow and grass. Get all the details for my coloured pencils on Kraft scene below.

Misty the Horse Scene Card

I coloured this one on toned paper. Currently I’m a bit obsessed with colouring on Kraft or toned tan, especially with pencils.
