Have you ever coloured a ‘bubble’? Who would have thought it would be so hard lol!
So I have had this idea in my head for quite a while but finally got to put pencil to paper yesterday. Don’t get me wrong, I think for a first attempt it is not ‘bad’ but I know I can do better. I just had it pictured a little ‘lighter’ and more airy….. but as you know I love my bright colours and I got a little out of control!
I used Prismacolor Pencils to create my bubble, and I added the platypus is from the You’re Weird stamp set from Uniquely Creative.
I also used the Featured Sentiments Die Set with my sentiment (this is seriously now a ‘go to’ for me).
Check out my video here or you can Watch it in HD at YouTube.
mmm what do you think? Will you try colouring a ‘bubble’? Let me know in the comments below. I hope you are having a fabulous week, hugs

Definitely looks like a bubble – a beautiful bubble. I like this Platypus image too. Great card and video. It is always lovely watching you colour.
Thanks so much Christine, I always find it very relaxing to colour with Prismacolor Pencils.
I probably won’t try it, Therese, but that doesn’t stop me from loving your bubble!! There is another crafter that does bubbles – wish I could remember who it is!
=]
If you do find out or remember I’d love some more inspiration….. cause you know that now I’ve got to try that ‘wonky’ version lol.
Great BUBBLE! Yes, it does look like a BUBBLE and I love the coloring you did! Great card for anyone!!!!!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
Thanks so very much Jan, it was fun to colour!
This is amazing! And it’s a bubble for sure. I’d like to try to colour a bubble. Love that platypus too!
They have a few platypus sets… I am trying not to ‘need’ more lol.
Therese, you are a rock star! Wow, this is fabulous! Feliz Navidad to you and yours! 🎄⛄🎅🎄⛄🎅
Thanks so muc Marisela and a very Merry Christmas to you too!
You nailed it. Love the sentiment. Definitely think this stamp set needs to find a home with me. So enjoy your videos and sense of humor
Did you see that they have a few ‘platypus’ sets…. I am trying not to ‘need’ them too lol.
What a realistic bubble and perfect colors. Love the little platypus. I have never seen one up close. I enjoy my Prismacolor Pencils too.
They are truly amazing and definitely ‘weird’ lol. Thanks so much Vicki!
Wow Therese this is so awesome and so cool!
Thank you very much Ina!
I like your bubble – think it looks realistic. Lucky girl having the whole set of Prismacolour pencils. I have a few (about 50) and love them.
I think my initial set was the 72 (which was more than enough) I could do everything I needed to and more with these colours. And I was able to replace the colours by open stock when I needed as well as add a couple of extra colours (wink). But this was a very expensive way to this in Australia and after about 10+ years I needed to replace quite a few colours and I got a fabulous deal on Amazon and the cost difference wasn’t much with what I needed to replace per pencil but i also got to have all the other colours that I ‘didn’t have’… and obviously didn’t need, except for that ‘violet’ colour today lol. I feel very lucky to have them too and now just need a few more hours in every day to colour! I am so happy to hear that you love your pencils too. Hope you have a wonderful and crafty weekend, Hugs Tx
Wow, I think your bubble is just amazing! I absolutely love the colors and the platypus and sentiment are so fun! What a wonderful card to give someone!
So happy to hear that you like it Suen, hope you have a fabulous weekend!

This could not have been your first go round coloring a bubble!!! It’s so nicely done! The first time I saw one of these I loved the look but have never tried doing one. Afraid to fail I guess. I need to squash that and give it a try. You made it look easy but I’m sure it’s not. Thanks for sharing it with us Therese!
It was definitely fun to colour, I am so happy that you liked it Elizabeth!
This was so much fun to watch and what a difference the gamsol makes. Darling card, Therese!
It’s a game changer when it comes to blending, it does tend to ‘remove’ a little of the colour though so sometimes I have to come in and add more layers, but I find the layers help add depth and dimension. Thanks so much Bobby!
Holy Moly, that is one amazing bubble!!! I don’t think I could manage that… ever. Hahaha. Beautifully done.
You are so very sweet, thank you Lisa!
Sorry for the delay in leaving craft love for your bubble, been snowed under, excuse pun, making Xmas cards, ten more & I’m done. Do like your bubble very much, I will accept the challenge to try making one, or several attemps, but it will no doubt be in new year. Love watching your videos, you have a fab sense of humour & a great talent, I always learn from you. Merry Christmas x
Good luck in your ‘bubble’ journey Andrea lol, hope you have fun colouring! And speaking of journey’s, Congrats on having your Christmas cards nearly done, wishing you the most happiest of Holiday Seasons, Hugs Tx
Absolutely fabulous! Certainly looks like a bubble. I think you know I’m not likely to colour a bubble any time soon 😉
I think I’ll have to pin the video just in case though!
Thanks so much Vicki, good luck with your bubble (wink)!
This is truly fantastic! And the platypus is a lot of fun, as is the sentiment! TFS!
Thanks so very much Heidi!
I love the idea of a bubble and this is a super stamp set, Therese! It certainly isn’t a quick and easy element to create! Thank so much for the video and inspiration!! Now to try it for myself!! LOL!! Hugs 🙂
Ooops! Pressed it too son!! 🙂 🙂 I think the white highlights really make it realistic!! I meant the AUs animals are super cute!!
I can’t wait to see your version of a ‘bubble’, have fun colouring!
