Need advice for coloring "white"

[shirl2]

What's the best way to color a white easter bunny on colored cardstock?
I tried pencils (regular and watercolor) but it didn't seem to cover very well (I was using pale yellow cardstock).

INstead of stamping the bunny on the colored cardstock and coloring him white, you can try stamping him on white cardstock, then cutting him out and adhering him to the colored cardstock.

You might be able to colour it with a versamarker and then emboss with white embossing powder.

Maybe you could try a variation of the Chalkboard technique that was posted in this week's "Weekly Inkling" to get the effect you're trying to achieve. You'd color in the bunny with a Versamarker and then go over the image with the white pastel. I've never tried this myself since I only just thought of it in response to your question, but it could work!

LOL, Anemone and I had similar ideas at the same time!

I use white pigment ink and a sponge dauber when I need to color white, like a snowman on blue cs or something like that. It works well for me.

Good idea with the craft ink and sponge. I was thinking maybe the white gel pen would work.

have you tried the ZIG chalk writers????

[shirl2]

I've not tried any of these, but thank you all. Looks like I'll be busy trying
new things. I'm also going to try white Fun Flock.

Try white Liquid Applique', then go over it w/ white chalk.

I did that a few days ago but used pink chalk after I heat set the LA.

A Prismacolor Premier pencil will lay down enough pigment to colour white over a coloured cardstock. I did this card for the limited supplies challenge on Friday with that technique - the card is a blue base.

Thanks for posting this response and for sharing the beautiful daisy card! I hadn't thought of that solution and I really like it! Sponge daubers leave a glossy finish, not always what you're looking for. sab

you could emboss the rabbit and color it in with bleach. Looks great on dark cardstock.

A technique I read about on SCS when I first joined was to stamp the image you want on vanilla card stock and then color it white with a white colored pencil. The white will stand out because there will be a definite contrast from the vanilla.

I've used pearlized white cardstock and stamped my image using white pigment or chalk ink (which dries with a matte finish) and I've also used white matte cardstock and stamped my image with white iridescent ink. Both techniques gave me results with depth. I think I'll try the pearlized card with white matte ink for my bunnies this year as this might resemble "fur".
