Colour Pencils on Dark Cardstock

Hello there, today I have a card to share with you that I made back in November last year for my friend Kari's Birthday. After making the card I quickly took a photo so that I could sent the card off to her. Well, the photos turned out awful! I decided that I wasn't going to end up sharing the card because of that but three months later, I have changed my mind. I really like how the card turned out so please just forgive the poor photos!
 

I started off by taking a piece of black cardstock and cutting it using a SSS Stitched Rectangle die. I then stamped the Graceful Rose image from The Ton on to it using white pigment ink. The image was coloured with colour pencils. I used a mixture of Polychromos and Coloursoft pencils, as well as the Caran d'Ache Luminance White.
 
 
The panel was adhered flat to a black A2 card base with tape runner. The sentiment, was printed out from my PC, cut in to a strip and added to the card using foam tape. To finish off, I added a few sequins from The Ton.

Again, I apologise for the photos but I love how the coloured pencils work against the black cardstock. The Graceful Rose image is just stunning too. Thanks so much for popping in today. I hope you have a great weekend!

  14. I am so glad you posted this Michelle - I think the photos look fine by the way! Firstly, WOW. This card is stunning, the colouring is gorgeous and so soft and just works perfectly against the black. And I really love that image - it is so useful to have an image that just stands on it's own without worrying about masking etc. Such a beautiful card, I am sure she was thrilled to receive it, Lisa xx
