It’s been awhile since I have done some no-line pencil colouring and when I saw the Altenew PAF: Chamomile I just knew that’s what I need to do with it! For this card, I decided to do some tone on tone no-line colouring, which creates a lovely soft serene card. However, pair it with a darker cardstock and some ink splatter you can step it up a notch. So let’s get started!

Tone on tone No-line colouring - colouring the floral image
Start off by stamping the Chamomile’s in a vase from the Altenew PAF: Chamomile set in clear embossing ink onto Tranquil Teal cardstock. You can choose can colour scheme you wish for your tone on tone look.Â

For this card, I used three pencil colours – a white and then two colours that worked with the teal colour of the card. One a darker shade, and one similar to the cardstock. Use the darker colour to create your shadows and depth to the image.
 The blend this out into the colour of the card with the medium tone pencil. Create highlights with the white pencil in addition to creating a surface for the vase to sit on. To finish the card, add some paint splatters using the Metallic Watercolour Pan set.Â

In addition add a heat embossed a sentiment from the Coneflower stamp set and a few sequins to embellish the card.Â
