VIDEO | MFT Colour Pencils on Black Cardstock

Hello there, I am up on the My Favorite Things YouTube channel today sharing a card using colour pencils on black cardstock. I haven't done this in a while, but I really like the look! Although colour pencil coluring can take some time, I do find it enjoyable, even if it did hurt my hand a little!

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off by stamping the image from the MFT Gathered with Love Stamp Set on to a panel of MFT Black Licorice Cardstock using Hero Arts Dove White Core Ink. Since this ink is dye based, it dries pretty quickly, but I did give it a little helping hand with my heat tool. 

I then coloured the image using Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils. As you will see in the video, sometimes I added a layer of white pencil first, to make the colours more vibrant against the black cardstock and sometimes I did not. All of the colours that I used are listed below the supplies list for reference. 

The panel was adhered to a black US A2 sized card base with tape runner adhesive. I then stamped the sentiment from the set on to more Black Licorice cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card using black thin foam tape. To finish off, I added white gel pen dots and sparkles.
