Hi Everyone! Luci here from “My Crazy Craft Life” with a card colored with Prisma Colored Pencils on Kraft cardstock and a Penny Black stamp “Tweetie“. I made this CAS card which anyone who knows me, knows I have a hard time with them. I used my stamping tool and Hero Arts Intense Black ink to stamp the image and sentiment because it’s a fairly large image I wanted to make sure I got a good impression. I used Neenah Desert Storm 100 lb. cardstock. Then I colored the image with Prismacolor Premier colored pencils and that’s it! It’s so hard for me to say that! LOL Hey gotta work the things we can right???!!! There’s a video below you can check out.

Have a great day!

Avery Elle Cool Beans Card

Hi! It’s Lynnea Hollendonner and I have a project for the Scrapping for Less blog today using the Avery Elle Cool Beans stamp set and some colored pencils! And there’s a video at the end of this post!

I love the cute little coffee cup image in the Cool Beans stamp set and I toyed around with a bunch of ideas in my head before settling on this one! I used the Splatters stencil from Tim Holtz and some Ground Espresso Distress Ink to create my background. I taped down my stencil and then blended on the ink keeping it darker at the bottom and lighter at the top.

I stamped my coffee cup with some ink safe for colored pencils and grabbed a few colors of my Prismacolor pencils. I usually tend to stay away from colored pencils. I’m not good at coloring – especially with pencils. I can never get colors to blend and I always have streaky pencil marks. I usually use a blending stump and some gamsol to blend the colors together, but I can’t seem to keep a good point on the stumps and the gamsol almost shreds my paper. I watched Jennifer McGuire’s video where she showed how to put gamsol into an alcohol ink blending pen and use that to color with pencils and I was AMAZED! I had to try it for myself! Watch the video below to see exactly how I colored this cup!

I put down some quick color with my pencils and then used the blending pen filled with gamsol to blend the colors together. And look! No streaky pencil lines! I cut out the cup and popped it up with foam and added some colored hearts as accents to finish off the card!
