Hydrangeas are one of my favourite flowers and I have about 9 plants in my Garden, they are all just blooming and filling the garden with colour.

I have coloured with Copics in shades of blue, my favourite colour for these Flowers.

The sentiment was foiled and then stamped around with a small Card-io Hydrangea stamp.

Today I would like to share with you a card I made after following a Kit & Clowder colouring tutorial.

I decided to colour this image using my Spectrum Noir pencils.  I didn't have any pencil paper, so used some paper I had for acrylic paint, which mean't I didn't really have enough texture for the pencil to adhere to, but I like the softness achieved.

Our theme this week is ALL THINGS NEW.  I was a little stumped at first with this one, you have the obvious new baby, new home, new year, but I wanted to do a particular image Lullaby Moon, after a bit of thinking I thought "What is better than a new day", so here is my card, coloured with Copics.
