If you’re looking for a subtle coloring medium I really recommend chalks. Also called pastels they are easy to work with and give a soft look to your stamped and colored images. I used them for this cute Halloween Scene card made with stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird. Visit my Youtube channel to watch this video to learn some tips on working with chalks or check it out down below.
A couple of weeks ago I shared a Bunny Winter Scene Card and decided to make 3 more cards using the same design but with different animals. I love using soft pastel colors for winter scenes.
Using the new First Snow stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird I created this cute Holiday card. I wanted to use non-traditional colors so I went with a pinky-peach that I thought worked well with the bunnies. I colored my images in using Tri-Blend Markers from Spectrum Noir.
Swim over to my Youtube channel and check out my latest card tutorial. I’ll show you how to make this cute Mermaid Peek a Boo card using stamps and stencils from Whimsy Stamps.
I envision this scene happening in Snape classroom at Hogwarts 🙂
The current challenge at Lawnscaping is to make your own pattern paper. I used three different Lawn Fawn sets for my card, the broom from Making Frosty Friends, the witches hat and top hat from Hats off to You and the frog (toad), stars, flames and wand from Critters Ever After. I made two pattern papers, the purple uses stars from the Critters Ever After set and the stone wall paper is made from the top hat from Hats Off to You. I used a post it note to mask off the bottom part of the hat and stamped the top half for my stones (see pics below). Everything is colored with colored pencils and blended with Gamsol. The cauldron die cut is from Silhouette.
