Selective coloring (or spotlight coloring) is as simple as just choosing part of a stamped image to add color to.
I love coloring just part of my image for a few reasons...
- coloring a large image can feel overwhelming or be time-consuming so only having to tackle a small piece is awesome!
- coloring just part of an image also let's me focus on practicing with a few colors of whatever medium I'm using like getting some extra practice with this Copic combo.
- and it's just fun!
Sometimes I like to layer images and use the overlapping area as the place to add color.
For this card, I stamped the blooms from the Sending Bunches Of Love with The Stamp Market's No-Line ink. I love the soft gray color of this ink for No-Line coloring but also just for stamping.
Next I stamped "LOVE" in black ink with the Chunky Outline Alpha over the top and used just a few Copic markers to color the flowers inside the letters.
To add "sending" I used some low-tack tape to mask part of the stamp. I inked with black ink, removed the tape and stamped in onto my card.
I hope you are inspired to try a little selective coloring if you haven't already!
Thanks for stopping by!
