Borderless Roses
It's been fun getting started with the Pencil Basics class - I have an eager group of ladies, each with their own unique style of creating and processing information. To celebrate the classroom opening last week, I colored this image from Impression Obsession using a borderless technique that I explain in the class. I love Alesa Baker's images for their simple and elegant line art... it makes them so versatile. This one is called Beauty Roses... I think I must have had the rose from Beauty and Beast in my head when I was working - the arched frame makes it look like it's under a glass dome. Hee! Love that movie.
The die I used is my own design, a set called Banners and Tails. There are 2 clear sentiment sets that coordinate with the dies, but they're still in the mail, so I used a partial sentiment from another set this time.
Here's a close-up on those roses! I stamped the image in Memento Pear Tart ink. If you're interested in learning the shading techniques I used, you are welcome to join the class - you can start at any time and work at your own pace. I'd love to have you!
Have a great week!
That is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteDina, your roses are very pretty. I love the way you have them shaded. It does remind me of the roses in Beauty and the Beast Disney movie. But I like yours way better!!!
ReplyDeleteDina, wow, you've created such depth and thickness to each of the petals. Awesome coloring!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Spectacular roses. You have brought the flowers to life with your remarkable colouring. I'm in awe.
ReplyDeleteThe roses are gorgeous, I only hope that with time and practice I will be able to color like our teacher.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colouring! Thank you for linking up with DTC!
