Inspiration Wednesday!

January 9, 2013 - by Unity Stamp Company

Inspiration Wednesday!

Hello there!  It’s Danielle here today sharing my inspiration project.
I was flipping through some cardmaking magazines recently, pondering what to make for my inspiration post, when I came across a gorgeous Unity feature by Australian cardmaker Edna Morrisedie.
as seen in
Australian Stamping, Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine
Not only did she use some of my favourite Phyllis Harris stamps, but also a technique that 
I’ve been meaning to try – colouring an image over a text page.  
Edna‘s beautiful cards are coloured over some dictionary pages.  
I didn’t have any pages like that, so I decided to try colouring directly onto some 
MME patterned paper with my Prismacolor pencils. 
I used Face the Sunshine, also by Phyllis Harris.
It’s a subtle effect, but I love it!  I’ll definitely have a go at this technique again!

So, I hope I inspired YOU today, like I was inspired by Edna Morrisedie!

    Not only is Edna's cards inspiring-but Danielle always inspires me with her coloring skills.
    I love pencils a lot more than markers.
    On most blogs I'm in the minority. So I think she's truly wonderful!
    I LOVE pHyllis Harris stamps too!
