"Charlene" DIGITAL STAMP by Hannah Lynn


Good afternoon (again?!) Second post I know, I'm a little behind in my blogging (2 kids slightly under the weather and a sleep deprived mummy running around after them) So now we're up to date here's my latest colouring! This is Charlene printed on to Kraft card stock I had a pack in my craft stash bought from Crafter's companion. Now it's 280gsm I think, so fairly thick and it's also temperamental with my Epson printer. Even with the setting adjusted to print at Matte it sometimes eats the card and gets it stuck.

I've ordered some 170gsm Kraft card from ebay to trail out I will let you all know how it prints and takes to being coloured on. I printed Charlene on A4 size without "being fitted" to the frame so it prints at actual size. I have used prismacolors which work really well on this card as there is a slight texture it allows more colour to be layed down and the colour just pops out which I was amazed by!

I've added in highlights using my new Derwent graphik white pen - I highly recommend this pen its perfect. I've also added in diamantés and a couple of water drop shaped cabochons after hand tearing the edges for a roughed up look. Originally I didn't intend to use the cabochons but I accidentally smudged some glue whilst sticking the finished colouring on to the white card stock and it stained blue from the prismas I had used so a cover up was needed.

I hope you like my latest colouring here's the finished piece on it's own. Thanks for stopping by!
