Hello my CMHCD friends,
For today I am sharing our next challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare. You have a pick of at least three colors from our challenge. I would like to ask you to please identify your color choices in your blog post. Here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| This has to be one of my favorite techniques; colored pencil on dark cardstock. This was stamped direct on paper and then colored using my waxy colored pencils. |

Now for our challenge!

| However, before I add the color I used an aqua pen and white pigment to paint in the areas I was going to use the color. It created a truer hue, saturation, and less colored pencil application. I just love all the colors popping off the dark cardstock. It really makes for a fantastic effect. |
 |
| After coloring the images I noticed its waxy texture took out some of the sharpness of the stamped image. No problem! I kept the stamp in my MISTI from the first time I stamped it. All I had to do was put the base right back in and restamp it. After stamping it again the image was clean and crisp. |
Well, thank you again for taking the time out of your busy day to visit my corner of the internet. I do hope you will join us at Color My Heart Color Dare and play along.
Lots of good crafting vibes headed your way. I hope you all have a fantastic day and please stay safe and stay healthy. Until then take care and we will see you soon!
Shawna your card is beautiful! I love how you used our colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Shawna. I love that stamp and you’ve created a stunning card teaming it with the colour palette. X
ReplyDeleteStunning card! I was mesmerized the first time I saw this card & was wondering how you got the beautiful colors. WOW!
ReplyDeleteLove the technique you used for your coloring... Beautiful card. Lucky you left your stamp in the Misti... I often do but not with the intent to have to use it again but I'll have to keep this in mind, better than using a black pen to go over some vanished lines.
ReplyDeleteI love you card and how you colored! I just purchased some prisma colored pencils and have been playing with them, but I feel like I have a long learning curve.
ReplyDeleteWow Shawna your card is really stunning. Your colouring is next level. I haven't coloured on dark cardstock before I must experiment soon!!
