Hi there and welcome back to my crafty space! I have been coloring quite a bit over the last few days as a way to be mindful and take care of “Me”. I am sharing a card today which stretched me a bit. I have been fearful of coloring in gray scale which is why I have delayed coloring my Julia Spiri images, but I am so glad I finally took the plunge. I never truly understood how the “gray” wouldn’t effect the colors and was afraid it would show my errors more. I actually think coloring this way gave me a lot more creative leeway and had so much fun. I am very thankful for winning this image as a prize and for the Artist stretching me. Without further ado…

Beautiful!
Oh Joy this is fabulous – gray scale is great to colour as it helps with shading with minimal effort… Love the results of your colouring and the way you have created the card as a whole.
Thank you for joining us at the current challenge over at Word Art Wednesday
