Beautiful Framed Florets card with glycerin coloring for Inspirations in Ink blog hop

Beautiful Framed Florets card with glycerin coloring

Hello everyone – today I am using the technique I used for our April coloring bundle tutorial with my Beautiful Framed Florets card with glycerin coloring creation.

Welcome to the monthly Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is Seaside Bay bundle. Thanks for joining us. I hope you enjoy my project.

You may be starting here – Creations in Paper – or have come from another blog – either way you can find the Blog Roll at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea today.

April’s tutorial is all about coloring. Each of us chose a coloring technique and created a card and wrote the tutorial for it. One of my favorite coloring techniques is coloring with glycerin. I love the soft look you get with using the glycerin and the added bonus is no lines! I chose to use black and white with my flowers having the color for my card today.

I love coloring with glycerin as it gives you smooth coloring with no lines.  The Beautiful Framed Florets card with glycerin coloring is a great example of this technique.

Look at the flower images and how smooth the coloring is. That is the effect you get when you use glycerin. The flowers on this card were colored with the ink pad. If you want darker colors use the reinkers.

Don’t miss that ribbon treatment! I actually used 3 different ribbons to get that look! Great way to use up your ribbon!

I have used glycerin coloring quite a few times. Check out the wings of this dragonfly that were colored with glycerin. The flowers on this card were colored with this method also.
