This is for Toni's terrific World Sight Day challenge.
My sweet sistah from anudder mudder, Stamperrobin, introduced me to these beautiful digi images by Aurora Wings. I used the same image last month on a full A4 sheet, this time I printed the image to fit onto a 5"x 7" card.
I just used copy paper, Prismacolour pencils and Zest it. The Zest-it comes in a 3" pot that is filled with a sponge impregnated with blending fluid. It is terrific stuff and best of all you can't spill it. It is also fine to use on copy paper too.
If you are colouring on copy paper, it is best to sit the printed image on a small stack of copy paper or a smooth writing pad. Any surface that has a hint of texture will effect your colouring. Having said that, certain images look great when you have coloured an image that is sitting on a toothy paper pad.
I had a truckload of trouble uploading this card, I see that a few others are too. It was suggested that I clear out my cache.
Isn't that the weirdest term ever "clear out your cache". It sounds like something the doctor would say...hello Mrs Jones, while we are checking out your downstairs lady bits, we will clear out your cache.
Thank you for looking. I hope everyone is having a happy, inky week. The Falliday Fest gallery looks fabulous!!
Edit: I just remembered I did use a a grey Copic (T2) and walnut stain distress ink.

Absolutely stunning card Susie! What you can do with prismacolor pencils is pure magic my friend. I am not sure how you do this, but I do know what I love, and I LOVE what you have done here. What you do with eyes and lips is astounding Susie! The flowers and leaves are so lifelike I want to reach out and touch one. I totally laughed out loud about your "clearing out your cache" comment (which I completely agree with!). So glad you were able to get this uploaded. ~Karen.

THIS IS GORGEOUS, Susie!!! ;) I LOOOVE the purple! You are SO GREAT about trying new mediums! If I were told to "clean out my cache'," I wouldn't know what that was! LOL OH WOULDN'T THAT BE WONDERFUL to visit Australia! (We thought about moving there when my hubby retired....;)) You are SO SWEET to visit me all the time in my gallery! BIG HUGS to you Susie! ;)

Absolutely stunning work!! Gob-smacked is a good adjective to use when viewing this! Love your amazing coloring skills... so much depth with whimsical line image that looks delicate too.
Gorgeousness Ms Susie. Your coloring is to perfection. Into my high ho gallery aka favd. Maybe someday I will be able to get me some of these gorgeous images but I highly doubt I’d do them this much justice.mmfs.
