I feel very silly making these, mostly because I sound ridiculous haha, but it is the best way to show coloring techniques in my opinion.
Don't get discouraged if it doesn't look exactly like you want after the first try, just keep on practicing and you will eventually find a look that works for you.
I hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching. My final card with this image is at the bottom of the post.
Thanks again for watching!
Hugs, Dena

Thanks for the tutorial, you make it look so easy. I must practice more. Love the finished cute bear card.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your helpful tutorial, Dena! I started to color with distress inks a couple of weeks ago and your video encourages me to practice a little more. This teddy bear is sooo cute and I love the fresh colors of your beautiful card.

OMG....an answer to my prayers....a tutorial on coloring those cute bears! Coloring fur truly scares me!!!!! Will have to study this carefully, Dena!!! Adding it to my favorites for future reference!
ReplyDeleteYour little bear is truly gorgeous...your coloring is sheer perfection!
I don't usually leave comments although I visit your blog almost every day, but what a great tutorial Dena. It is absolutely brilliant and you don't sound ridiculous at all. Thank you so much for sharing your great talent with us. I usually use watercolour pencils but I am considering more and more switching to distress inks.
ReplyDelete(I love the finished card too, as all the cards you make, it is amazing and very inspiring).
Have a wonderful day,

Beautiful card Dena. Your video was so helpful. Thank-you so much for taking the time to post your video and posting such a gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteJen - I use Stazon ink to stamp with when I use watercolors.
ReplyDeleteLinda - The brush is 10/0 in the mini Majestic line Filbert, very reasonable. Here are details: http://www.royalbrushstore.com/products/productdetail/R4200T-10/0+-+MINI+MAJESTIC+FILBERT/part_number=R4200T-10/0/201.0.1.1.1217.1005665.1006971.1006195.0?pp=12&
