Hey friends! How are you all doing? For my card today I have used Adore You stamp set and Altenew Artist Markers Set A.
To start off I did a bit of masking and made a bouquet of flowers and leaves using Sea Glass Crisp Ink for all the images. I chose a light colour since I was going for a no-line colouring look. I love the Sea Glass colour, it is GORGEOUS. I have noticed that I reach for it the most!
I coloured my Adore You stamp set flowers with Sea Glass Artist Marker and leaves with Frayed Leaf plus Forest Glades Artist Marker and then added some details with colour pencils.
The process of colouring images is SO fast if you use artist markers, you don't have to keep on layering colour with pencils to get the finished look. It usually takes me a whole day to colour a bouquet like this if I am using pencils alone. I hope Altenew releases more colour shades soon, these are SO helpful really.
The leaves took me a bit more work than the flowers since I added way too many flicks of colour for depth.
As some of you must have noticed I do like to add a cast shadow if I am doing one layer card, it's very rare that I let the image be, as is. So I added a cast shadow to my image to give an illusion of dimension. The shadow doesn't show much in photos though but it does give a look of dimension in person.
That is all for today folks! I hope you like my card! See you guys soon!

This! ❤ You are a coloring genius!!! I’m still trying to convince myself that this really is one dimensional
Thank you lovely!
BEAUTIFUL…I too would love a video. I do have a question what did you use to cast the shadow around the image?
Thank you! I used a regular grey/black colour pencil to add a cast shadow.
So very lovely. I can’t believe how much the white pencils adds to the texture of these already beautiful flowers. Great work Erum. Just love your work.
Thank you so much Anne!

The perceived dimension of these flowers is amazing! Your colouring is fabulous!
Thank you Manda!
Your coloring is amazing! I love the Sea Glass color and the slight shadow underneath makes these flowers really pop off the page! I love the sentiment also.
That was the intention of the shadow! Thanks a lot for noticing!! Thank you for stopping by.
I love your card and all the beautiful details. I have the artist markers but I haven’t had as much success with themas I had hoped. Practice, practice, practice that’s what I tell myself.
Thank you! I am really surprised to read this because I am VERY new to alcohol markers, these are my first.
Wow. Simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Your work is amazing! So life-like. Beautiful coloring. Thanks for sharing.
This is so breathtakingly beautiful, Erum! I still can’t believe it is a one layer card… fantastic colouring as always! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us! :)
I just want to keep looking at this! It’s so beautiful. Would you think about doing a video for us?
I don’t know if I left a comment yesterday when I first saw your card or not… but it is so beautifully done!! And it just jumps off the page, so it doesn’t look like it could be one layer. And they look so real!
Wow! You are an amazing colorist. Those flowers just curl off the background like they are real. So beautiful!
Your card definitely has dimension and it’s gorgeous, Erum.
Gorgeous!
