Cards by Gilly Diary

I had an idea from a card I’ve put in the Unique section.
I want to do a decoupage card using this image, instead of colouring it in by hand I scanned it in to my computer. This makes editing and colouring really easy to do (although it’s quite time consuming!!).
Here is how I coloured it…

To begin with I made the image transparent. The grey area represents this.

Next, I put colour behind the leaves.

Then I put colour behind the flowers.

To finish off the colouring I layered different colours with different transparencies on top of the colours I began with. This is the finished image.

Now I am going to try and bring the image to life..
