I stamped the little duck in a tub out onto some Kraft paper and coloured it up with my Polychromos Coloured Pencils, except for white I used my Luminance white.

Polychromos used:
Tub – Luminance white, Warm Grey IV, Warm Gret II
Duck – Dark Chrom Yellow, Dark Cadmium Yellow, Light Cadmium Yellow
Beak – Orange Glaze, Cadmium Orange
Bubbles – Cobalt Blue-Greenish, Light Cobalt Turquois, Luminance White

I used up some of my spotted paper from my shash, a little yellow ribbon. I used just the Rub-a-dub-dub part of the sentiment from the same set and a couple pink Enamel dots from the Summer Breeze Enamel dots.

Hey everyone! Today I have here with a winter card featuring Wee Stamps Candle Light! You can pick this awesome snow man up in rubber here, or in digital form here.

I coloured him up with my Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencils. Unfortunately I did it while on a trip to Saskatoon and didn’t record the colours that were used. The paper I used was Fabriano Artistico 140lbs Hotpress Watercolour paper.

I used some of the paper from my recent Haul from Blue Fern Studio, the fence die is from La La Land crafts and the corner die is from LDRS Creative. I added a little twine around the image to finish off the front of this card.

Rosella in Gum Tree

Posted in Make it Crafty, Polychromos, Uncategorized by

Hey! Today I have just a colouring to share with you all I have to figure out what to do wit this image yet. But every month Make it Crafty has a challenge and this month the Make it Colourful challenge is feathers.  I decided that I wanted to colour up Rosella in a Gum Tree, I printed it off on Fabriano Artistico 140lbs hot press watercolour paper, and coloured it up use my polychromos pencils.

This was not a fast process and probably took me about 4 hours of colouring time, everything has 4-8 coats of colour put on it to allow it to blend nicely, that seems to be the trick to these pencils is lots of light slow layers, but I love the look I get with the harder lead.
