So, you don’t want to color?

So you love Flourishes’ images but don’t want to color them? No problem. The beautiful details of these images makes it a snap to use only ink and paper, without a Copic or pencil in sight. I’ve got 2 cards to illustrate how easy it is to pull this off.

The first uses the lush Christmas set, Dove and Holly, with a non traditional Blue, Ivory and Gold color scheme.

I stamped the larger dove, making sure that its head nestled into the corner of the card and that there were three pops of blueberry and three of gold. I was so happy with how the birds look without any coloring that I plan on making a few more, using different colors of ink. The gold accents on the berries were done with a metallic gold pen.

The second card uses a portion of one of the stamps in Bee My Honey with a sentiment from Seaside Life (love that font).

By stamping in brown on yellow, the little bouquet reminds me of autumn. Again, I made sure to have 3 pops of yellow, 3 of white, and 3 brown. That rule of threes helps me out every time!

Thanks for dropping by my 3rd post as the Limelight Designer. I am enjoying reading your comments!
