Hello! I've been working on my coloring skills... not sure what I doing, but it doesn't look too bad... I've watched this video from Yana. Even though I didn't get the same result, it was really helpful.
CRAFTY TIPS:
- The background has a soft green hue, which was added with the 'smooshing' technique.
- The peony and leaves were fussy cut by hand. There is a coordinating die set, but that had to stay on my wish list.
- The sketch came from CAS(E) this Sketch 127.
- I am also linking this up at TIME OUT Challenges #33. This would make a pretty wedding card, or a congratulations card to the bride... don't you think?
Thanks for stopping by,
Monika

I think you did a fantastic job with your colouring!! I'm not very good either so thank goodness there are lots of videos around to watch and get some tips. Love the soft purple colour and fabulous idea to have the light green in the background. So very happy to see you at TIME OUT!!
