From Colouring Book to Cards ...

Good afternoon!  It is time for another blog hop and linky party over at STAMPlorations.  If you join in you will be in with the chance of winning a prize!


You may remember that earlier this month I showcased a couple of pages that I had coloured from this new colouring book ... if you missed it then you can check it out here.  In this post I'm delighted to show you the cards that I created by using parts of these coloured panels. I have to admit that I had never really thought about creating cards from colouring books but I am delighted to have tried and will be doing it again!

These are the designs that I created:








I used:
Bloomtangled Coloring Book
STAMPlorations  For the Birds Stamp Set (the Thank You sentiment)
CUTplorations - Hello Sunshine die, Bloom Happy Coordinating dies
Inktense Pencils
ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Markers
Stampin Up Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die

I hope that I have inspired you to look at the possibility of using the colouring book as a resource for making cards and other art.  Why not pop along and check out the amazing projects from the other designers and join in with the fun!

Enjoy!
