Still and Restful Waters
Hi everyone! I hope you’re all having a great weekend! Our nice weather has ended and we’ve gone back to the nasty hot/nasty humid weather that is more typical for us this time of year. This will be a short post as I’ve been up since 5 a.m. and out in the heat from 6-noon. I see a very early bedtime in my future. **yawn**
Streams of Living Water — Colored
On Tuesday, Cornish Heritage Farms will release two new Thomas Kinkade images, Streams of Living Water and a vignette of the same, along with this sentiment, Still Waters.
I used Copic markers to color the image, coloring over the areas I felt were too bright with a gray marker. I think it worked great for “toning things down.”
Either tomorrow or Monday I’ll have a monochromatic sample using this image. I *love* TK images when done monochromatically…plus it’s quick and easy! :) Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

So gorgeous, and I got my stamps today, thank you so much!!
That is really pretty Michele, and so different from your usual style. Very nice!
Beautiful, I have seen so many of his images coloured in too bright, they look a little gawdy but this is beautiful, very tastefully done.
Unbelievable, Michele! Absolutely gorgeous coloring. Brilliant idea to tone it down with the gray. Oh, my goodness…you make me want to color a Kinkade. This is a beautiful image.
Beautiful card, and what an awesome job of coloring you did. Fantastic!
Oh my word - this is stunning piece of art work. Beautiful!
I love love love TK images and this card showcases them fabulously Michele! Wow! I’m always scared to colour them and go with one or two colours. This is GORGEOUS~
Oh my! This is simply breathtaking, Michele!!
You did an awesome job coloring this! Love it!
This is stunning! I absolutely love the way you colored this! Is that a CHF backgrounder stamp behind the TK image? It looks wonderful!
Wow this is breathtaking! It doesn’t look possible to color that good! Wonderful job!
Beautiful!!!!…I also have seen some that were coloured brighter than I would like, using the grey is a great idea…NOW, I will feel like colouring my new stamps,now. I feel more like I will like the finished project, using the muted look for sure…THanks soooo much for sharing your ideas and talents!
Wonderful work!
