Hello there! Thank you for stopping by to help celebrate Altenew November 2016 Release (more about this release and blog hop below). There are many great stamp sets to play with and I am anxious to share a card I made using one of them – Hello Sunshine. This is a bigger 6×8 stamp set with stunning floral images that are just perfect for coloring.

CARD DETAILS
I made this card at a crafty retreat a few weeks ago right in the middle of the Coloring Challenge by Kathy Racoosin;Â naturally, I couldn’t resist trying a new coloring medium and spending a few minutes/hours coloring. I used individual images from the Hello Sunshine stamp set and formed them into a beautiful floral wreath.
I did very little masking – I didn’t bring a lot of supplies with me to the retreat, so I had to use what I had and that was washi tape – so I masked my images with the help of washi.
The coloring medium I’ve been wanting to try is Prismacolor Pencils; I used them here to color these florals. Fantastic pencils and I’ll probably invest in a set for myself at the end of the year, that would make a nice Christmas gift. These pencils are soft and easy to blend and don’t take a lot of time to learn how to use. A definite must-have!
After I finished my coloring I stamped Hello Sunshine in the middle and added light gray pencil shading on the inside of the wreath. When I got home from the retreat I heat embossed You Make My World Brighter in white embossing powder onto black cardstock and foam mounted it onto my panel using black foam adhesive. I also trimmed my panel down to 4 x 5 1/4″ and foam mounted it onto a gray card base for a pop of dimension. I finished the card by adhering several clear droplets and by adding white gel pen dots here and there.
I have another card I made using new stamps and I’ll be sharing it in the next few weeks on my blog, so stay tuned!

your cards are very beautiful. love the colors, gotta try the color pencils!
Really cute card! Love the colors.
I don’t use Prismacolor pencils, they quite expencive here in Poland but I need to try them. Usually I use Koh-i-Nor pensils.
Such a unique way to use the stamps. Love your card.

I love Altenew’s floral sets, and this wreath is so pretty. I love how you used individual elements to create the wreath.
love your cards.This is a beautiful set! I love Follow your Dream , Vintage Teacups,and Adore You. They are my favorites.
If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would not have noticed the light gray! You obviously did not have any problems with a new medium. I would love a bigger set of Prismacolors, but am making do with my set of 12 and lots of cheaper pencils. I am just starting, and even though I want it all, l cannot afford it all at once. Thank you for this very beautifully executed example.
Yana, I absolutely love your wreath! The colors eto your work is so beautiful. Thank you again for showing us your masterpieces.
Very bright and cheerful. The white dot highlights add the perfect extra pop.
Wow, the design is fabulous and the color pencil coloring is beautiful.

Wow! I love your card. It is stunning.
Yes, Love what i see, nicely done! I love the white on black sentiment, makes it PoP! Thanks for sharing!
LOVE the wreath you created! Very pretty and it just shows how versatile this set is! This is another magnificent release! Moments in Time is my favorite set but Adore You is a close second! TFS!
I love it Yana!!! So simple and pretty! I forget about embossing white on black paper to make a sentiment pop.
Prismacolor are the only pencils I use; I love them best when they are really sharp, and always use an electric sharpener otherwise you run the risk of unsetting the color rod inside. The washi tape is something I’ve never thought of…did you hate it? How did it do?
Such a pretty card. Love the black sentiment as it works perfectly with the bright flowers:)
Beautiful card, love the vibrant colours! I haven’t used the Prismacolour pencils be a use I have a set of Inktense pencils. Would be interesting to know the difference.
Lots of Prismacolor pencils on this hop. I need to get them out again. Also need to practice with gel pen accents. Thank you.
I have a whole set of Prismacolor pencils but rarely use them. After seeing your beautiful card, I need to pull them out.
Love that wreath! So awesome.
Beauti card, love this stamp set
Such a happy card! Love all your colors, and it’s so cute that you created a floral wreath.
