More Polychromos colouring

Stamped image from Crafters Companion 'Celebration Parade' set. Again using all the same techniques as listed below. The background papers came as a free gift with Quick Cards magazine Feb issue.

This stamped image is from the 'Popcorn Bear' series from 'Crafters Companion'. I used a slightly textured paper from 'Papermania' their Preimum white pad. The image was stamped using black Memento ink. I used Polychromos Pencils (Faber Castell) using 2 shades each of yellow, blue and grey. After applying the colour I used a fine paper stump dipped into artist white spirit and blended the colour. Ice Sticles in lemon was used around the edge.

More pencil colouring

Another cute stamp coloured with pencils.

New Polychromos Pencils

Having got a new set of 'Faber Castel Polychromos Pencils' this is the first opportunity I have had to play with them. They are really easy to use and blend. I did buy them with the intentions of using them for my parchment work but now that I have tried them on my stamped images I think that they are going to become a favourite in 2011!

I think that I am going back to my craft room now for another play.

Stamp is one of 'Crafters Companion flower fairy' range and the backing paper is also from the 'Flower Fairy' CD.
