Simon Says Stamp | Sketch Lotus Flowers & Polychromos Coloring. Video (Blog Hop & Giveaway)

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. When it comes to crafting, I go through phases. Like just a die-cutting phase, or just Copic coloring phase. These days I seem to be back to my Polychromos pencils coloring phase and I have another coloring video for you featuring a stunning Sketch Lotus Flowers stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.

CARDS DETAILS

I have shared numerous videos about pencil coloring and Polychromos coloring is particular (see them all in a playlist HERE) and I’m really happy that you guys are enjoying these. Today I have a simple video featuring no-line polychromos pencil coloring on Strathmore Toned Gray Sketch Paper. I love this paper for any kind of pencil work.

I started making this card by stamping image in light gray ink onto my paper using a mini MISTI. You don’t need to use MISTI for this, regular clear block stamping will work just fine.

Next, I picked the colors of pencils I wanted to use. I looked up lotus images online and decided I wanted to make my flower multicolor! So I have one colored in yellow, one in peach, one in pink and one, what seems to be a leaf, colored red (I didn’t realize it was a leaf and thought it was another flower).

Here’s the list of specific colors I used for this card:

  • Green: #170 May Green, #168 Earth Green Yellowish, #174 Chromium Green Opaque
  • Peach: #132 Light Flesh, #131 Medium Flesh, #101 White
  • Yellow: #107 Cadmium Yellow, #108 Dark Cadmium Yellow, #109 Dark Chrome Yellow
  • Red: #118 Scarlet Red, #223 Deep Red, #225 Dark Red
  • Gray: #232 Cold Grey III, #234 Cold Grey V

Once my coloring was done I used a coordinating die and die-cut image out. I also backed it up with a sheet of Neenah 110lb cardstock to make it more sturdy (the paper that I used for coloring is rather thin). I covered the front of an 4Bar card with white woodgrain cardstock, foam mounted my floral cluster on top, added a white heat embossed sentiment that reads “You Make Life Beautiful” (from the You Got This stamp set) and embellished this card using Butterfly Kisses sequins and Jewels.
