For my "Spring Flowers" card this week I tried a few new techniques. First, I stamped the Old Mill 063G from Stampscapes onto my new Cryogen White Cardstock (purchased from Tanya at Peddlers Den at the Savanna retreat). Then I colored the scene with my new PanPastels (I bought a starter pack from Karen Wallace and a few other colors from a store near me). I really like the look of the PanPastels. The color goes on very smooth and does not fade like other inks.
Next, I tapped in Copic Opaque White paint in the shape of clouds (a new technique I learned at the retreat from Lynette). I added a little grey PanPastel to give definition to the clouds. Lastly, I added dots of color to look like flowers in the grass using a few Copic colors - V06, R85, RV29, Y17.

ReplyDeleteNancy,
ReplyDeleteHi, Love your scene! I thinking of purchasing some pan pastels, for my scenes. How did you like working with them? Are the tools easier than the cats eye thing I have that I always make mistakes with. LOL I've seen them only once before and held on to the sample. It's as good as it was when I first did it 2 years ago.
Hello Nancy - this is divine - I love the scene and the colouring - perfect for this challenge...thank you for joining us at Stampin' Sisters in Christ this week - we appreciate your support! {{{hugs}}}
