Mummus Roses–Mothering Sunday Card

Here we are and already January is nearly gone by in the blink of an eyelid.

As soon as I saw Mummu’s Roses by Mo’s Digital Pencil I thought Mothering Sunday card. I tried to keep it pretty and I think I managed.

The sweet papers are from a Graphic 45 paper pad and the whole pad is gorgeous A Lady’s Diary.

Image coloured with FlexMarkers by Letraset as I was trying out some new colours, they have some brilliant deals on at the moment.

Ribbon Carousel is where the ribbons came from.

Colouring Hair–Video Tutorial

I thought that after the skin Tutorial the next this you would need would be a tutorial on colouring Hair. So I sat down and did another video tutorial for you.

Hair

I kept to the same image, So Funny by Mo’s Digital Pencil as I figured that some of you may have bought her.

 

I hope these are of some help to those of you learning to colour.

Colouring Skin Tutorial–FlexMarker

When it comes to colouring skin FlexMarkers have it covered, the brush tip allows for perfection in blending techniques.

I've made a video tutorial showing step be step how it's done and some still pictures to show the build up of different colours.

Step 1. Colour the whole area with Satin FlexMarker

Step 2. using the Blush FlexMarker go around the hairline, across the cheek area, the bridge of her nose, under her eyes and chin.

Step 3. Use Sunkissed Pink on her cheeks, hairline and in the corners of her eyes.

Step 4. Use Nutmeg to deepen the hairline, just adding the very tip to the corners of her eyes and the crease on her nose.
