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!

CB Teasers | Warm Wishes & Halloween Pumpkins

Hello there, not long to wait now until the new Clearly Besotted products will be available to purchase. They will all be released tomorrow evening at 10pm :) I have another two teasers to share today. One winter themed and one Halloween.

My first card uses the new Stitched Mittens stamp set and matching dies. It is perfect for winter cards. I first took the smaller mittens from the set and stamped them on to some kraft cardstock using Versamark ink. I applied WOW! bright White Embossing Powder and then heat set them. These were coloured using Coloursoft pencils.

 

I took a kraft card base and embossed a rectangle on to using the SSS Stitched Rectangle dies through my Cuttlebug. The sentiment, was again stamped with Versamark and heat set with white EP. The mittens were added with foam tape and then I added a little clear Wink of Stella to them. I love the look of coloured pencils on kraft cardstock.

My next card uses the new Giving Thanks stamp set. It is a great mix and match set full of different items to go in a wheelbarrow. I looked at the set a little differently an decided to make a pile of pumpkins for Halloween.

I first stamped the pumpkins using Memento Tuxedo black ink and coloured then using Copic Markers. These were then fussy cut out and set aside. I took a panel of white cardstock (cut using a SSS Stitched Rectangle) and applied Distress Inks on to it using a blending tool. I applied Dusty Concord and Black Soot.

 

 

The sentiment, from the Many Mini Messages set, was stamped with Veramark and heat embossed with white EP. The pumpkins were then layered on top and a coat of clear WOS added to them. I took a black card base (4"x5") and embossed it using the Docrafts Quilting EF. The panel was added on top with foam tape.

Magnolia Love

Hello there, I just couldn't resist using the Magnolia from the Ellen Huston Mondo Magnolia set again. It is just so beautiful! This time I used colour pencils to colour on to kraft cardstock.

 

I first took a piece of PTI Kraft cardstock and stamped the magnolia image on to it using Versamark ink. HA White embossing powder was applied and then heat set. I coloured the magnolia in using Derwent Coloursoft Pencils (I haven't used these for ages but I remember now why I love them!). I also added a little shading around the outside.

 

 

The panel was adhered to a white A2 card base using ATG. The sentiment, from the Clearly Besotted A Little Sentimental set, was stamped using black ink on to a strip of white cardstock. The left end was cut in to a ribbon end and then added to the card with foam tape. I finished off the card by adding three Doodlebug Cupcake Sprinkles around the sentiment piece.
