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!

Now I’m thinking that the Hello sunshine is my favorite. Love the wreath look.
Beautiful card. We need these bright cards to cheer us up at this time of year!
I love the bright colors you used for your card. I have Prismacolor pencils but am such a newbie that my coloring is nowhere near yours.
You inspire me to start coloring! Thanks!
Love the beautiful card you created using the Hello Sunshine Stamp Set. I’ve never used Prismacolor pencils before, but after seeing the cards made by you and other bloggers in this blog hop, I am itching to try!
What a pretty wreath you have made from these individual flowers and foliage Yana, and the pencil colouring is beautiful. x
I haven’t used prismacolors, but I’m going to keep my eye open for them now.
Love your card :o)
