Softly

I am so happy to have this Penny Black Stamp called "Softly". First time inked up and coloured with Prismacolor pencils. I started with a box of 12, but soon realised that I needed more colours. I now have the box of 72.  I added the May Arts ribbon (don't you just love it!) and sprinkled a few sequins.

I don't know what the problem was, but my camera would NOT capture the deep purple colour no matter what setting I used. Kept changing it to blue. Any advice would be welcome. So I am posting 2 pictures ... the first one scanned to try to show the true colour and the second is the photo.




This is my entry for the Color Q Challenge.


I will also enter it for Penny Black Allsorts Challenge : Anything Goes,  Simon Says Wednesday Challenge : Anything Goes and Addicted to Stamps : CAS Challenge.

    This is so beautiful and delicate, great colouring. You are not alone, I have exactly the same problem with purples! I don't have an expensive camera, just a basic 'point and shoot' but it's so frustrating isn't it? The colours come out a little truer when using the camera on my mobile phone, just an idea in case that's an option for you. Thanks for linking up at ATSM this week, Anita x

    I also own and LOVE this stamp and the matching stencil! It's so pretty and never fails to make a beautiful card! I really LOVE that you used purples and to me this photos look awesome! I can only guess how much prettier this is in person! :)

    Aren't cameras annoying? Have you a white balance button on yours? I've found that makes quite a difference with some colours. Anyway, your card is beautiful Janet - I love those delicate blooms and I'm sure the pencils will prove a great investment! Thanks for playing along at Colour Q!

    Those blossoms are really pretty, and I love the colour you picked for them.

    I too struggle with capturing the true colours of my card sometimes. When I don't get the right colours, I try flash on or off, and change the background. If my white background, don't work I go with a black. Hope this helps a little!

    Lovely birthday card, Janet, love your flowers and the sequins. Sequins add a lot of personality to a card. Thanks for playing with us at the colourQ.
