When I color an image, it is usually a stamped image or a digital image. I have quite a few stencils and wondered about coloring an image with pencils rather than the normal ink blending.

Gina K’s Summer Bouquet Layering Stencils worked perfect for this. I first placed each stencil over my Mi-Teintes colored pencil paper and used a Copic fine liner to trace around the inside of each of the openings of the stencil. Once I had this done, I repeated the process lining each of the remaining stencils up and tracing around the inside of the openings in the stencil.

I then went to work coloring the images with my Prismacolor pencils. I have listed the colors I used at the bottom of my post. I don’t use any solvent, just the pencils to color my images. This helps to keep the colors vibrant.

Once I had finished coloring the image, I used Master Layouts 01 to cut my panel down and to cut out the shadow layer. I added the panel to a Bubblegum Pink A2 card base. My sentiment is from the Vintage Summer Greetings Poly-Glaze sheet. I used my Fuse foiling system to add the Passionate Pink foil to the greeting. I used a matching die to cut the sentiment out. I cut three additional layers using white cardstock so I could add some dimension to the greeting. I added a few sequins from the Strawberry Shortcake sequins mix just to add a little embellishment to my card.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
