Am here today with a fresh bouquet of Daffodils’ Illustration by Marcella from Powerpoppy. The beautiful digi stamp called Sketches of Spring, tempts you to color it with any coloring medium and I colored it with Faber Castell Pitt pastel pencils.

Over to my card,

 

• Printed PowerPoppy Sketches of Spring Digital stamp onto a textured cardstock meant for Pastel Pencils.
• Colored using Faber Castell Pitt Pastel Pencils.
• Diecut using Ginamarie Scalloped frame largest die.
• Matted onto canary yellow A2 sized top fold cardbase using foam adhesives.

Simon says stamp Monday Challenge – Fabulous florals

Happy Thursday!

Made a CAS floral card using Altenew Mini stamp set – Flower Delight and used Faber Castell Pitt Pastel Pencils for coloring.

Over to my card,

• Stamped the Altenew Mini stamp – Flower Delight onto a watercolor cardstock using Antique Linen DI.
• Colored it using my new coloring medium – Faber Castell Pitt Pastel Pencils.
• The surface of the cardstcok gave a nice tooth for the Pastel pencils to work on.
• Diecut the focal panel using Gina Marie Scalloped frame die.
• Added the Altenew Script word diecut and the sentiment form 2 different sets.
• Mounted the panel onto a canary yellow A2 sized cardbase using adhesives.

Am here today with a floral card using a new to me Colouring Medium. Yes you heard me right. I love to experiment my coloring skills with a variety of Colouring medium and this time, its happened to be 

Faber Castell Pastel Pencils.

They are chalky and unlike the regular wax based/oil based / or any other coloured pencils. The cardstock I used was Brustro Pastel assorted pack. It has a wonderful texture/tooth to pick the medium and the layering was pretty good.

Being my maiden attempt with this medium, I took a small floral spray from Altenew – Castle Garden for coloring. 

Over to my card,

• Stamped Altenew – Castle Garden using Antique Linen DI.
• Colored using the Faber Castell Pastel Pencils.
• Used Brustro Paper stumps for smudging and layering the colors.
• Used Brustro kneadable eraser to take off the colors which was smudged around the image during coloring process.
• Sentiments are from 2 different Altenew stamp sets, yet wonderfully worked together. Stamped using Altenew Coral Berry crisp ink pad.
• Diecut the panel using scalloped outline die set.
• Mounted this panel over the ivory A2 sized cardbase using foam adhesives.
