To start, take an closed Stampin’ Up! Ink pad and press on the lid. This will press the lid into the ink pad and give you a nice well of colour on the inside of the lid.

The good thing about this well of colour, is that when you close your ink pad it keeps the colour moist and ready for use next time.
If you have been to one of my workshop, you would have noticed that a lot of my ink pads have their little well of colour on the lid. Like I said, this is my favorite technique.

Rubbing your blender pen over your colour well, pick up the colour from the lid. like to start with my darkest colour and highlight the image and then using my lighter colour I blend and colour my image.

I like to go lightly when I am colouring. I can always add and deepen colours after I have finished if I am not happy with the effect but it is a lot harder to tone down a dark image.

The final card made using Delight in Life set. This is a limited editon Sell - a - bration set available only during January, February.
