Hi it's here popping in with a little guest post today:D As soon as I saw the set I know it would be one of my all time favourites; I love the fine lines of the beautiful images but there is also enough space to have some colouring fun too. When colouring on vellum you need to choose darker colours than you actually want to achieve. Then I flipped the panel over and coloured the back of the images which is easier than trying to avoid colouring the white embossed lines on the front. I often white heat emboss flower images as I think the white gives that lovely soft ethereal look.
