“YOUR CHALLENGE...
This month I want you pull out a coloring medium that you don't use that
often. So if you tend to use Copic Markers for instance, pull out your
water color paints or your colored pencils instead! Let’s see you use up
some of those not-so-used mediums this month.” ~Ally
I saw a new technique yesterday, and as soon as I saw it, I knew that I would be doing it for this challenge.
Melanie Muenchinger Here did a technique that looked like a pencil sketch. I imagined that Marcella does this when she designs her stamps. I went right out and purchased the Toned Gray sketch paper.
Here is my card.
What I switched up was to used colored pencils. New to me! I stamped the image from Marcella called
Sassy Succulents, in black ink and only used the white and black pencil to color it. Raised an oval stitched panel on to and placed some ribbon on the side. That's all. I think I will be doing more of these.
Thanks from stopping by and thanks for your comments.
I LOVE this so much!!! That technique intrigued me too, and the paper is on my list for when I got to Hobby Lobby. I love the image you used, so pretty, and you have nailed that look. I could not tell you were drunk....lol. :-D
