Hello you!

Helen here today.

It´s just a few days til Halloween and this ghost has been lying among my stamps, wanted to be coloured. (it´s actually me who once drew the stamp)

I wanted him to appear in a dusty attic. I added the candelabrum and a spiderweb.
And a BIG, SCARY spider. As you can see, there is a shadow from the candelabrum and the spider,
but not from the ghost. That´s because I think ghosts doesn´t have shadows,

Hello!
Hope you are well today.

Finally!
I have wanted to make my own videos when colouring for a long time.
As I lose myself into the colouring I often forget to take photos, and now that's not a problem anymore.

This is my second video so please, have patience with me. When I get the hang of it, I will maybe put in the colours in the video, but for now I list my colours in the end of this post.

 Hi!
Helen here today.
Hope you have had a great summer. We can now just relax and enjoy some colouring without feeling guilty for not spending the time outside in the sun.

I spent some time colouring this little guy, Sneaky taste by Nellie Snellen. I really don´t have any trouble with older stamps. I don´t need the latest released. If the image is cute and nicely drawn it really doesn´t matter. I colour images that talks to me, touch my heart.

I started by stamping my image on to some Perfect Colouring Paper and used Memento Ink pad.
It´s a clear stamp and it´s not the best quality, it´s little softer and if you press to hard it might end up as it did for me with some thicker lines as in his face but I thought that when I had coloured the whole image it wouldn´t show as much as in the beginning.

My first layer for the skin: E000

The shadows for the skin: BV20

Ontop of the shadow I added a new layer: E11
And for the cheeks, belly botton, knees and elbows I used: R02

To blend everything I went in with: E50 and R00

The cake: E41 - E43 - E44 - E42

The cake dish: Y21 - YR21 - YR24 - Y26 - T3

Linen: BG10 - BG11 - BG23
Filling: R81 - R85

Knickers: BG70 - BG72 - BG75
I feel that theese shades are fare from each other so I use tip to tip method when I colour with them.

Flower: R00 - R81 - R85 

Hair: E40 - E42 - E43 - E44

And the most important, the shadows to groud the object: 
W00 - W1 - W3 - W5

Look at the picture abowe and you´ll see how the objects just floats on the paper,

Some highlights added with a Gelly Roll White Dark pen.

I hope I have inspired you to make some colouring of your own today.
Have a nice day!
Love
Helen.
