I can do this proper grown up colouring and stuff ...

Evening all, some of you know I booked to go on a colouring class with Bev Rochester at my local craft shop, Papercuts Ltd. in Whitley Bay. Well what a fabulous day I have had, I am completely amazed at how I managed to colour in properly!! I have gone from pretending to being clever and doing my own style of shading (I like to call this being unique!) and then after todays class I feel very confident that I might just be able to carry this off to other stamps, until then however I did have a little spend on a Sarah Kay stamp. 

So we used all Sarah Kay images, starting off with this one, which took us all morning to colour! 



Now this is a cute image, but not my kind of image, I managed to screw up the boys boot, but rectifying that by using the blender pen, still a few bits to get rid of, but look I have a shadow around it and everything! yay! 

Then after lunch, we used another image



I am very impressed with this one I absolutely love everything I managed to do, the jeans, the BLONDE hair!! (yes I only ever do brown hair cause I cant do blonde) and I love it!! 

Then we moved on to another image .. 


Now I thought I would struggle with this image, knowing the colours we were using, I never thought I could pull it off, but I reckon I managed it very well and love the finished image!! 

Then last but not least is a work in progress ... 


She is only part coloured as you can tell, but we ran out of time, I reckon I could easily have sat there another few hours and done some more as I was really enjoying myself, but all good things come to an end!

Big massive thanks for Bev Rochester, she told me off a couple of times for being heavy handed but really helped me, and a big thanks to Shirley and Jo Ann at Papercuts, they ordered in pencils, pens and put on a good spread for lunch!!

How fab Tams - love your results! I know Whitley Bay, Cullercoats and Tynemouth so well - used to walk for miles on our 'dates' when engaged and frantically saving every penny. A swift drink at the pub by the castle ruins in Tynemouth and then all the way back again.....rain, snow and sometimes good weather. Happy days! Di xx
