Aloha Guys!

Today I’ll be sharing this card for PaperTemptress’s FB Challenge for November, sponsored by The Stamping Boutique.  Ill leave the link for this image in the descriptions below, if you’d like to check it out.  Be sure to check out the PaperTemptress’s FB page and participate in this challenge for a chance to win some awesome prizes.  Each month will have a different theme and the theme for November is No Green and Red colors.  I printed the Cardinal (digital) image, onto some watercolor paper and colored it in using a Blender pen.  I personally love this technique, because you can use your Dye ink pads as watercolor medium.  You can also use them with watercolor pencils and markers.  I colored the Cardinal in a burgundy color, since we can’t use the color red.  I also used the Neenah Natural Linen card stocks from Papertemptress.  This has a fantastic texture and I really wanted to showcase the texture on this card stock using some Brusho’s.  Even though this card stock is not a watercolor paper, it was able to hole up to a lot of water.  Pretty cool!!  Love them ❤  Check out the video, to see the Brushos on the Linen card stock.  I’ll leave the links to both the Papertempress’s FB page as well as The Stamping Boutique.  I hope you’ll join us for this challenge and check out the Papertemptres’s Blog for all the Fabulous Designers inspirations. Thank you so much for stopping by and I’ll catch you next time.  Thanks again 🙂

Aloha Guys!

Today I’m making a card for the Lawnscaping Challenge, which is to use Sentiments.  I wanted to use the Faber-Castell Metallic pencils on black card stock, so that the metallic will show up better.  I went ahead and stamped one of the sentiments from the Lawn Fawn’s Chitchat stamp set and embossed it using white embossing powder.  I then colored in the speech bubble randomly using 4 of the metallic pencils.  I used Gold, Silver, Pink, and Blue.  I think the metallic shows up really nicely on Black card stock.  These pencils are not water-soluble like the Derwent metallic pencils.  I believe these are wax based.  These are student grade pencils and I think they don’t have as much metallic as the Derwent but it’s ok for techniques like this.  No blending but just coloring in the image.  I hope you enjoyed this card and please subscribe and follow for more inspiration and ideas.  Thanks again 🙂
