Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends who are celebrating tomorrow! Maybe today you’re watching YouTube on your tablet while doing some prep in the kitchen – hopefully this one will be fun for you to enjoy! It IS a crazy hot mess until it’s not though, so don’t get your hopes up TOO high.

The marker colors used are probably not as many as you’d expect for a card like this….and by the way I bought this little rack on a sale, thinking it would be better than me holding a fistfull of markers. But uh it doesn’t fit copics. DUH! Hopefully I’ll find a use for this so it wont end up a waste, lol. Me and sales….we don’t always think clearly!

The finished card is simply layered onto red cardstock and a dark green card base. Easy peasy! Except trying to photograph slimline cards, THAT is hard.

Want some actual do-able implied/noline coloring?
Check out my collection of implied line tutorials – dozens of them! And you’ll see that the kinds of images that work well are not necessarily complex ones like I picked out to use today.

Truly Amazing. Watching the way you worked on this. You are a master in shading. Soon as you did the bunny I could see the light on his little face & when you kept adding & darkening, I knew it all was going to be even better at the end. I knew you would pull out from your so called “Hot Mess” You are just so talented & you’re right about the trolls.
It’s a great and adorable card Sandy.
It was awesome to see how you coloured your way out of the
“hot mess” as you called it and how the adorable card turned out. I don’t know who said it
but never judge an artwork before it’s finished and that’s so true.
Thank you so much for sharing, stay safe and
Happy Thanksgiving.
This is amazing Sandy
You are amazing, as always! Happy Thanksgiving!
Amazing! I love watching you put a card together. It is like magic the way you use lighting. I have this stamp and love it. I learned a lot from this video. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for sharing.
WOW! This is so cool – literally… and I just realized that I’ve been saying “wow” a lot this Fall – you just keep bustin’ outta the box! A few years ago, you did no-line coloring on a Penny Black stamp called “Christmas Wishes”. (And thank you for collecting all these projects in one place, so I could find it just now!). But it was the same thing – complicated image, but done on Desert Storm paper, so no background to worry about. I spent hours coloring that girl, and swore not to ever try that again! It is difficult, but patience will get you there in the end. I agree with your comments about “nay-sayers”, by the way. Thank you so much, and have a great Thanksgiving!
