I simply love Monochromatic tones it adds a bit of drama to an image.
This one is Hollywood by Saturated Canary Coloured with one of the Promarker Colour Blend set 3 pens by Letraset this set was Violet if you hadn't already guessed.
The only other colours I used were some skin tones and Black..
I’ll try to show some Monochromatic colouring on Create and Craft on Friday.
I also have some Letraset Fun here tomorrow so remember to come back so you don’t miss out.
I’ve said I was going to do this so many times, I would collect all of my belongings and set off for pastures new but something would always stop me, however this time it is official, I’m going and there nothing to keep me from it. Suitcase is packed and I’m walking out with my head held high.
I hope I didn’t have you worried, this is Thursdays Child from Mo’s Digital Pencil and apparently she has far to go.
I got this one coloured up with Promarkers and I have it packed ready for Fridays shows on Create and Craft.
I thought some of you may appreciate these ones, done in a totally different medium for me at the moment but totally and equally enjoyable, I often use different mediums together when I’m colouring and there is no fast rule to what you use, whether you like markers, pencil, distress watercolour of pastels but you can be sure that if you enjoy the colouring you’ll end up with something you like.
I used the AquaMarkers from Letraset for both of the cards below.
I love how quickly this one coloured up, the image is Bridge Scene from Just Inklined
Next Up is Man at Work again it’s from Just Inklined
I think the Letraset show will be full of colouring technique so I really hope you will be able join me.

A little lady of the lamp here, this is Hopeful from Wee Stamps and such a pretty thing she is.
Coloured with Promakers and Prisma pencils, a Cheery Lynn Flourish die and a Martha Stewert Butterfly Punch from Dies to Die For a pretty cotton ribbon from Ribbon Carousel, paper is Bo Bunny and a Prima Blossom to finish.
I managed to squeeze in a card today, it’s been such a scorching day, Jack came with his mam and we spent most of the afternoon in the garden playing in the sandpit and then Jack watering the flowers, he just loves being in the fresh air, later his Dad came and of course my hubby started with the water fights, they never grow up do they?
So onto my card, Baby Cakes by Saturated Canary Digis she’s a little sweetheart.
The wording was done with my new Cheery Lynn alphabet dies bought from Dies to Die For and the ribbon from Ribbon Carousel and the gorgeous gems from Mei Flower (love these companies)
I may be a tad flaky with my posts this week as I’m prepping for a fabulous Letraset show on Create and Craft next Friday 1st June at 11am and 6pm, I want to show the products to their full potential and I have had an enjoyable learning curve in the process.
Here is a sneak preview of some of the things I have been playing with.
AquaMarkers, Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Cartridge paper pads too.
The things we go through to try to get a bit of sparkle back.
I had a lot of natural blonde (wink) coming into my hair and thought it was time to enhance the hairdo.
Thats better.
Dinner time! I remember my eldest daughter lining her dollies and teddies in a row to feed them, she was always a Mum even as a toddler. Sometimes fed other times bandaged. Where did the years go.

Coloured with Promarkers and glittered here and there, you can just about see the glitter on her petticoat. I kept her in fresh summery colours. She’s like a little bit of sunshine.
