Papericious: Cards using Monochromatic Paper Pad

Hi everyone,
I love making cards and usually I use stamps to create my focal images.Today's cards are absolutely different since I used few gorgeous pattern papers from the pack called "Monochrome"as the main element . This paper pad has few of the most beautiful prints and I had to colour them with few different mediums. I was pleasantly surprised that the paper supported all the three colouring mediums ( Pencils, Copics and water ). I have four different cards for you all today and I hope you will like them.
Here is the cover of the paper pack and it offers few of the most beautiful patterns in black and white combo.

Card 1

PENCIL COLORING

For this card I decided to colour the flowers using my Faber Castell polychromos pencils. it was a bit time consuming but the end result was splendid. The paper quality was good and I did achieve a smooth and beautiful blend. I used a gray Copic marker to colour the background and that helped the images to pop. I used a diagonal stripes patterned paper to create the mat and a little sentiment to finish the card.

Card 2

COPIC COLORING

For my second card I picked a light blue copic marker to colour the background/open areas and a super light grey marker to create white flowers. This was comparatively quick to colour. I heat embossed a sentiment on some vellum and layered it on top of the coloured panel. To create the mat i used a text paper from the pack and that made the card so elegant and classy.

Card 3

WATERCOLORING

The third card is all about fussy cutting and water colouring. I used some bright pink and green water colours and painted few flowers. I also used the chipboard mannequin and arranged the flowers to embellish it. Added a sentiment and a pretty card is created.

Card 4

FOILING

I love adding a little foiling on my cards and I decided to do the same when I saw this beautiful grungy butterflies pattern paper. I used my toner pen to trace on one of the butterflies and few splatters. Once the toner ink was dry I added gold foil using my minc machine.I finished the card using a small sentiment label.
