I haven't played with colored pencils in a long time. Using pencils is a great way to add more color to colored card stock.
Plus, the pencils gave me a new way to play with the Swallowtail stamp. You can't always get away with "just" embossing it. Well, I guess you could...
Most of the blending is just done with the pencils themselves. I like to add at least a little bit of white when coloring on Crumb Cake or kraft. Though I had planned on a a tone on tone layering it seemed that a little bit more white would make the butterfly pop a little more.
Before the Academy Awards were over last night I finished a second card on Marine Mist:
This was done with watercolor pencils too. Just a bit of blender pen on the espresso colored parts. I need to use these pencils more often
Thanks so much for your visit!
