I've started experimenting with coloured pencils and this is my very first Tilda card coloured with my Prismacolors. I luuvvvv colouring with my markers, but I'm beginning to love my Prismas also.
This image from Magnolia's Fairy Tale Collection--I love that collection--is called Bubbling Tilda. Awww... isn't she adorable?
This card is my entry for the current challenge at the Magnolia-licious Birthday Bash blog of Magnolia-licious Yahoo Group. The theme is Bling it!
I have used Mina's wonderful sketch that she created for Week 59 of Just Magnolia Challenge Blog.
I am also entering the challenge at Stamp Something - this week it's a Happy Somethings challenge.
Also, this is for Sir Stampalot Challenge, a monthly challenge blog and their theme for June is Punch It!
Since I was actually just fooling around with coloured pencils with this first Tilda image, I didn't have the proper paper. I was using a plain cardstock that you would use for your printer--hardly any tooth, too smooth for me. The resulting colours here aren't as solid as I would like them to be. For the next time, I will have to use a different paper with more tooth on it--probably bristol board/paper.
I have added a gloss medium to the bubbles to make them glisten. You have to blow up the picture to really see that.
Sigh...my laptop is still acting up. I did managed to restore it...somewhat, but now it's soooo.... slowwww..... Everything is taking about 5 times longer to download, so there's still something wrong with it. More for me to do--if I can only figure out what...LOL.
Thank you so much for dropping by for a visit. Enjoy your day!

Norma this is beautiful! I love this stamp, your colors and embellishments are beautiful. I love the circle border, I've never seen anything like it. Gorgeous card! Hugs!
This card is very beautiful. This image is great and lovely colored.
The colors and the papers are wonderul.
The flowers are very pretty.
Hello Norma, absolutely beautiful card. I love the colors you have chosen. Most of all, I just love the result of the Prismacolor ! It's gorgeous. I find it gives a very soft and warm appearance to the coloring.Up until recently, I had no idea of this mineral spirit "thing", I promise myself to find that & try. I love coloring with Prisma, but never did on stamps...

Oooh so pretty! Love the colors and gorgeous job coloring. Thanks for sharing it with us at Stamp Something. This is the last week of our DT call, so if you're interested pop over to the site for all the details!
Gorgeous colouring Norma! I love the shading on her dress and hair! Have you defragmented your computer? I find that usually cleans mine up and makes it run a little quicker.. just sorts all the files out a bit.
Love the 3D'd bubbles too! ♥
So So beautiful you have done such a fabulous job, its a work of art.
thanks for joining us in the sir stampalot challenge.

I don't know about anyone else but all I see is absolute perfect. This is coloured beautifully. It looks like it has been coloured with Copics. I thought you had put Twinkling H20's on there too as the texture looks different. Wonderful colouring sweets.

WOW, this is fabulous, I can't believe you used colored pencils!
Norma you do fabulous coloring in any medium!!! Love your flowers and your bubble band ties in so nicely!!! Another one of your beautiful creations!!!!
Hi Norma, I'm so glad you are trying the PrismaColor Premier pencils. Aren't they fun? Lots of tutorials on the internet about how to work with them.....but come to think of it, you could give the tut., not read it. Great job on your coloring and layout.
