Sarah’s Bouquet in Prismacolour Pencils

 

Hello There

I can’t believe that we are now into October already

Time seems to fly by these days!

I have my first project of the month for Paper Rose Studio to share.

I really enjoy colouring florals and decided to use pencils for the details in this beautiful bouquet.

I have used MiTientes pastel paper as my card base as I really like the tooth on

This paper for coloured pencil work.

I have stamped the bouquet stamp out in Versafine  black ink.

Once I had coloured all the leaves and flowers,I used two shades of light blues to blend out the background.

I then added splatters of acrylic ink in gold and black.

As the pencil blending took some time I decided to keep the rest of my 

Card  simple, leaving the floral bouquet the main focal point. 

To complete the card I have die cut the word wishes out of plain black card 

And added sentiments from the All Occasions sentiment pack.

Supplies used: 

25234 - Sarah’s Bouquet Clear Stamp

26110 Tall Script words Wishes Blessings

All Occasions Sentiment Sheets

Prismacolor Pencils

Acrylic ink Black

Windsor and Newton Metallic Gold Ink

Thank you for stopping by to see my latest card 

I will be back with another card on the 14th 

Until Next time

Monkey Birthday card

 

Hello Again 

I am back to share with you my third project for  this month.

Today I have used coloured pencils for this fun card.

I have stamped out the leaf stamp three times at the top of the card base, this gave me a nice tree line 

When adding the swinging monkey.

The leaf stamp wasn’t very large so I didn’t need to mask anything as there wasn’t any overlap.

Once I stamped the monkey so that he appears to be swinging from the leaf branches,

I have used my prismacolour pencils to colour in both the leaves and monkey in. 

Prismacolor pencils can get waxy so I have used a lot of light layers to build up the colour.

Supplies used:

27460 Monkey and Sloth Stamp Set

24712 Bold Leaves Stamp

19289 Big Black and White Sentiments

18454 - Blending Brush with cap

Distress Oxide ink - Tumbled Glass

Carson MiTientes Pastel Paper 

Thanks for stopping by to have a look at my latest card 

I will have three new projects for you next month

Until next time

sentiment almost any stamp can 

make a great alternative Christmas Card.

My Image has been stamped onto pastel paper and coloured with Prismacolor Pencils.

The background Die has beed raised up by attaching it to the stitched frame die cut

for some interest on the bolder block letters.

Three Wise Men

 

Hi there 

I am back with my third project for November

and Paper Rose Studio.

 As we are heading towards Christmas at great speed I thought i would share  another 

Christmas card, 

this one has ended up  bright and colourful.

To create the card base I have blended Distress Oxide Ink in Spun Sugar masking off 

the background with a stencil to create an irregular shaped colour block as my base.

The background has also been distressed with water and splatters of gold paint.

The three wise men are coloured with Prismacolor pencils.

 I have fussy cut them and arranged them 

on the card base.

I kept the card really simple and clean as the colours looked so cheerful and

bright together.

Supplies used:

23818 Three Wise Men Stamp Set

18225 Christmas Sentiments 4 x 6 Stamp set

Prismacolor Pencils

Distress Oxide Spun Sugar

Blending Brush

I am loving the new stamps and dies that have been released lately,

I hope you liked this project and are able to find some creative time in your day.

Until next Time

Holy Family Christmas Card

 

Hi again

I have another card to share with you.

I have used Prismacolor pencils to colour my stamped images.

These beautiful Christmas stamps are from Paper Rose Studio.

For my background I have used my scan n cut to cut out a mask for

 my background.

I have used distress oxide ink in Speckled egg to fill in colour. I have also splattered the background with gold paint whilst the mask is still in place.

After colouring in my stamped images I have fussy cut them out 

and layered them up to create my nativity scene. 

My stamped out sentiment has been cut out with the Scan n Cut 

and I have added some tiny gold stars to finish,

supplies used:

23815 Holy Family Clear stamp

23812 Stable Clear Stamp

18335 Christmas Sentiments Stamp

Distress oxide Ink - Speckled Egg

Flowering Gum Christmas Card

 

Hi There 

I am so shocked that it's November already! 

 For today's project I have made a very Australian

Christmas card using the Paper Rose Studio Flowering Gum stamp.

I will share a few more Christmas cards as it will be there before we know it.

I have kept  the card really simple as I feel the Gum leaves and flowers

 are the main feature here.

I have used Prismacolor pencils to colour the stamped image.

When doing such intense pencil blending I prefer to use Mi-Tientes 

pastel paper as a base, it has a lot of tooth and grabs the waxy pigment of the

Prismacolor pencils really well.

After stamping the image I have built up the pigment slowly adding layer after layer of pencil until

the textured surface of this paper has filled out. This can take awhile and sometime you need to use a blending pencil ( clear wax) or a light coloured pencil to blend the layers together.

To complete the card I have used a yellow Posca paint pen to add the flecks of 

pollen on the tips of the gum flowers.

I have also used the Merry Christmas everyone die cut from black card 

for a simple sentiment. 

Supplies used: 

23152 flowering Gum stamp

22150 Merry Christmas Everyone Die

Prismacolor pencils

Hello Autumn leaf card in Prismacolor pencils

 

Hi There

Im back again with my first project for September. 

Today I have a card to share with you for Paper Rose Studio that I have made card using the new Sketchy Floral Hello stamp set.

This card is simply about the colouring. 

I have stamped out the leaf stamped in the set multiple times in a light colour ink, 

I used Gina K's amalgam ink in skeleton leaves.

The paper  that I like to use for coloured pencils is Mi-Teintes pastel paper from Canson.

I Have then coloured in the leaves with Prismacolor coloured pencils. 

It took awhile to colour them all 

 but totally worth it.

The card background is also coloured with pencils in soft blues.

The card is completed by matting it on a black base and using the Hello layered Die and the black and white sentiment paper pack 

May Your Christmas Sparkle

Hi There

Today iI am back with a card that I hope will inspire you for our monthly challenge at Bizzy Bec's.

This month we are having a "sparkle" theme form our last challenge of the year.

I have stamped my image in Dark grey ink onto Neenah card, I have then coloured around the edges 

of the card in Distress Oxide ink in Pumice stone using a blending brush to get a smooth blend.

ThenI have then coloured in the image with prismacolor coloured pencils. I have used traditional Christmas red and greens for her dress and boots softly blending the pencils together.

For some extra glitter and sparkleI have added Nuvo clear glitter drops around the image.

My sentiment die cut " may your Christmas sparkle" is cut out using red metallic card. 

I have then simply cut the sentiment apart to allow me to split the sentiment for the top and the bottom of the card.
