I was inspired by Kim Costello's tutorial in the June issue of Craft Stamper magazine, to try colouring an image in black and white.
Now, as you know, I love my promarkers but I've never tried using just my greys to colour an image. I don't have all the greys, just a couple of ice greys but I do also have all 5 of the warm greys, so I tried it with them.
I chose the Daisy stamp from Sugar Nellie because I'm used to colouring her and am fairly confident I know where I'm putting the light and shadow on her. And because she is my all time favourite.
So I'll stop blethering now and just show you the card eh?
Image: Daisy from Sugar Nellie, coloured with promarkers: warm greys 1-5, aubergine for flowers and grass for leaves.

Hi Debbi
The image is beautifully coloured! Caught first sight of it on the promarker challenge blog. Nice work! x
Oooooh you lucky lass ... I wanted to go to Artstamps Show myself but just couldn't find the time. Hope you managed to restrain yourself and didn't overspend LOL!
You have done an excellent job of colouring with your greys and the splash of colour just gives it an extra lift.

Wow! Love the effect that coloring the image in grey tones has! Absolutely stunning!
This is gorgeous! I think all your images are coloured beautifully but it's really skillful to get such a lovely effect with just the greys. Thank you for the tutorials too, I'm practicing! Nicki, xx.
