The Greeting Farm – September Preview Day 1

Posted in Caran D'ache, colored pencil, Faber- Castell, Luminance, Polychromos, Prisma Color Pencils, The Greeting Farm by

Hey everyone! We are back for another set of previews for The Greeting Farm! This month’s release is amazing!!

I pulled out all my coloured pencils for this one. One thing I love about this medium is how friendly they all play together. Prismacolor, Polychromos and Luminance. I can mix them in endless ways to create tons of looks!

I think added a little bit of detail with a white Posca marker and added some stitching to finish it off. The sentiment comes from the Holiday Wishes stamp set.

The Greeting Farm – August Previews Day 2

Posted in colored pencil, The Greeting Farm by

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the second day of previews for The Greeting Farm! Today we are changing things up and have a couple sentiment dies to share with you! Both are birthday themed!

I stamped out one of the girls from the new Cheeky kit that was release a little while back and coloured her up with my coloured pencils. After that I picked a yellow cardstock that coordinated with her top and die cut out this fun sentiment! I am over the moon with these big word dies that The Greeting Farm is coming out with!

Thanks for stopping by’

Bring out the Sunshine

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

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!

Wallpaper Art

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

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

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!

Curvy Girl Eats Cake

Posted in colored pencil, Faber- Castell, Polychromos, Stamping Bella by

Hey everyone! Today I have a guest post for Stamping Bella! I am so thrilled to be guest designing for them, it really is a dream. I have loved the stamps this company releases for years!

For my first card, I pulled out Curvy Girl Eats Cake and my coloured pencils. I haven’t shown my pencils much love lately, but this was the perfect opportunity.

I stamped her out with a light colour ink, to give the no lines colouring look, once everything was finished. Then I went in and coloured it up with my Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils.

Once I got her all coloured up, I decided I wanted the sentiment to look really sketchy as well. So I stamped it with the same light coloured ink, then traced over it with my black pencils to give it the sketchy look.

Thanks so much for stopping by

Hey everyone! Welcome to the first day of previews for C.C. Designs!

There are tons of new goodies in this release apart from some super cute stamps, there is paper, enamel dots, and a die set!

I coloured up the monkey from the Monkeys set with my coloured pencils. I then used the new paper and the cloud die to create the fun background. A little bit of green ink on the white pannel and some splashed of water finish off this adorable little card!

Clearly Besotted – Fairytale Princess

Posted in Clearly Besotted, colored pencil, Faber- Castell, Polychromos, Uncategorized, Youtube by

Hey all! Today I have a super fun pencil card and video to share with you all! It has been quite a while since I have shared a pencil video!

Clearly Besotted - Fairytale Princess - Jessie Banks

I love the slightly sketchy feel to this card, and how the image isn’t completely solid and feels storybook wise!
