Bring out the Sunshine

Posted in Caran D'ache, colored pencil, Faber- Castell, My Favorite Things, Polychromos by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! I have been doing tons of colouring lately. But not a lot that I can show… yet!

So for today, I pulled out the Bring Out The Sunshine set from My Favorite Things, and coloured her up on Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. I haven’t coloured up anything on kraft cardstock in a long time.

I recently purchased a set of 20 Caran D’ache Luminance coloured pencils, and 4 additional colours to that. So I mixed them with my Polychromos to colour up this little lady.

My verdict on the Luminance pencils after their first use… I will be buying more. Lol I am an art supply junkie!

Technique Junkies July Release

Posted in Technique Junkies, Uncategorized by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! It is new release day over at Technique Junkies, and this release is awesome! I love the theme, just hope over to check out all the fun new release stamps!

I have always wanted to get more into art journaling, the pages people come up with always blow me away. And having a thick junkie book at the end is always something I wanted. But I always found the books to large. So I picked a small Dylusions Journal and this size may work for me.

But, for my first page I pulled out the new Sailing Panel stamp, and coloured it up with my copics. Then to add some texture to the background I used White Caps, finishing off the stamped sentiment Salwater Heals. Now i need to work on my handlettering lol!

Wallpaper Art

Posted in Altenew, Caran D'ache, colored pencil, Faber- Castell, Luminance, Polychromos by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! This one took 3 days to complete, but I am in love with the way it came out.

I have wanted this set, Wallpaper Art from Altenew, since it first came out. I finally got my hands on it. I had this vision of white flowers on kraft paper. Which meant coloured pencils.

It turned out exactly as I imagined, and during the 30 day colouring challenge it fit in perfect. Took a few days to complete, with a little colouring a day.

Chillin’ Frenchies

Posted in colored pencil, Faber- Castell, Polychromos, Simon Says Stamp, Simon Says Stamps by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! I am still plugging along on the 30 day colouring challenge! I pulled out one of the newer sets from Simon Says Stamp called Chillin’ Frenchies!

I have not played with my pencil’s in a long time. Also, seeing as my son’s baseball season is coming to an end I thought it was the perfect opportunity to make a fun card for the coach from all the boys on the team. I don’t normally gush about my boy, or people in our lives. But my goodness did he get a great coach this year, he went above and beyond doing extra practices with the boys, and helping them become little men.

So I coloured this one up on some kraft coloured cardstock. Super happy with this clean and simple card. Now I need to colour up the rest of the dogs in this set!

Forest Creature Birthday!

Posted in C.C. Designs, CC Designs, Derwent Inktense, Youtube by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! Today I am playing with my Inktense Pencils and C.C. Designs!

I always love fun and whimsical animals to paint and colour up for cards. This little fox matched perfectly with my inktense pencils! I turned on the camera to capture the process of this one!

Start to finish on this little card was about 40 minutes. I really love getting lost in painting things up. Water soluble mediums have slowly become my favorite!

Bring Out The Sunshine

Posted in CLean and simple, Copic, My Favorite Things by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! It is another season the Kathy Racoosin’s The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I love trying to make a project everyday for 30 days, even if I fail at the completed project everyday, I do get some colouring done everyday. Which, after all, is the point.

So for today’s card I used a stamp from MFT called Bring Out The Sunshine. I love MFT, we all know this but I have a great time playing with them regularly!

So, I am still on this super clean and simple card kick. For this one I did some no lines colouring, adding a little grass at her feet. the sentiment at the bottom and a little twine at the top finished off this sweet little card!

The Greeting Farm – June Previews Day 3

Posted in The Greeting Farm, Watercolor by jesscbanks

Hey all! Welcome back to the third day of previews for The Greeting Farm! Today we have a sweet sentiment set called You.

I have been playing around with watercolouring my own foliage and floral. So for this card, I tried pulling out what I have been working on and putting them onto my card. I am fairly happy with how this came out, they are a sweet little line of leaves and buds down the one side, with the super uplifting sentiment from this set!
