Happiness Rains Down

Hello all,

Today I'm sharing a card make over.  I colored this image a few years ago.   We had daffodils come up by our house this year... it inspired me to find dig out some daffodil stamps and ink them up.  

I'm in love with how it turned out!  I hope to color up one more daffodil image to share.  Such a beautiful flower!!

Flower of the Month: Daisy

Hello friends!

This post is a bit late.  It was supposed to debut last month, but I was busy having a baby last month.  There were a few things that got missed in the shuffle.  We are adjusting and hopefully, I'm re-learning how to budget my time.  I hope you will forgive me.

One of my favorite flowers are Daisies.  They are so incredibly happy!   You can find this adorable digi stamp at in the Lila Grey shop.   I love how fast this was to color!  It is perfect when you need a super cute card quickly!!

This digi is very simple, but it doesn't mean there isn't a lot of detail.  Each petal casts a shadow on its neighboring petal.  When you are coloring this image be sure to pay attention to those tiny details.  It will bring this beautiful flower to life!  I wanted something bright and cheerful, so I colored my daisy in pinks.  The colors are listed below.

Happy Coloring,
Chris

Flower of the Month: Lily of the Valley

Happy May Day!

I'm so excited that May is officially here.   April was a really snowy month here in upstate New York.  I think we can finally say goodbye to winter and welcome the warmer weather!!  WHOO-HOO.

This month we are celebrating Lily of the Valley flowers here at Lila Grey.    Lisa drew a elegant, but simple version of these flowers.   Since they are traditionally white I chose to focus the color on the background rather than the flower.  It really helps the flowers pop!

The colors I used are listed below.  The biggest trick to getting the sky to look right is work quickly so the "edges" of your coloring do not dry.  If part of your coloring does dry before finishing it will create streaks.  These are really hard to remove.

Happy Spring!!
