WPlus9 Flora and Fauna 3

Posted in Caran D'ache, Cards, colored pencil, Faber- Castell, Luminance, Polychromos, Prisma Color Pencils, Wplus9 by

Hey friends! Long time to type/talk! We are back for a new year and I have 363 days to figure out what I wanna do with this blog and youtube. I really miss making cards so lets kick things off there!

Today I pulled out Wplus9’s Flora and Fauna 3 and made a card! And yes I filmed it for my youtube channel!

I have been doing so much with my watercolours last year that you didn’t get to see, I decided to grab something different do this one all in coloured pencils! I am going to be honest this was not a fast process. This card took me over 3 hours. Because I had 3 hours of footage to edit down for todays video!

I really love all the small details when it comes to one layer cards, shadows under the focal peice, the shading to make it look slightly sunken boarder. This one was just a blast! I love the little gouache addition to help the sentiment pop and brighten up the centers of the flowers!

You can watch the entire process below!

Thank you all for stopping by, even though I have not been around! I appreciate you all so much!

Sunny Vibes

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

Hey friends! Today I again was playing with my Kraft paper, Copics and Coloured Pencils. It has been my jam the last few days. They take me about 3 mornings of colouring before work!

So I masked out the little van and put the tree in behind it. After that stamping the sun to the right side of the paper. All using Ink on 3 No Lines ink. I really like it on the kraft paper for this look.

I do really love the white highlight I added between the images and the blue sky.

C.C. Designs June New Release

Posted in C.C. Designs, colored pencil, Faber- Castell, Polychromos by

Hey all! Welcome to the June release for C.C. Designs! We have a bunch of new super sweet images to share with you!

I am sharing my first project of a super clean and simple card using the New Snow Swissie! I love her ever so much.

I decided to colour her up using my coloured pencils, something I have not picked up in a very long time! I had so much fun playing with them. I die cut it out with the Scalloped Rectangle die to put her on the card front.

Thanks for stopping by,

The Greeting Farm – October Preview Day 3

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

Hey all! Welcome back to day 3 of previews for The Greeting Farm! We are nearing the new release!

Today’s set is called The More the Merrier! It is full of the cutest little critters ever!

Let’s talk about this card! I had a fantastic time colouring up the little hedge hog and door! and for some reason while I had them all masked out I decided it was a door to no where? Notice the blue sky and green grounding. But, I was so happy with how it looked all put together that I did not want to change it and try and make it look like the inside or outside of a house. So I left it the way it was. I am really happy with how it turned out.

I have been doing so much painting with my watercolours lately, that it was so much fun to pull out my colored pencils and colour this one up!

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.

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

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

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
