So, I’ve spent a little more time playing with my new Spectrum Noir Colourblend Pencils…and today I wanted to share a simple autumn card that demonstrates the smooth blending you can achieve with them. I love using colored pencils on kraft cardstock (especially this time of year!) and the images from the Sheena Douglass “An […]

Faux Bleaching on Colored Cardstock
Summer may be over, but it’s still okay to make cards with tropical flowers on them as long as you use fall colors, right? Right? Well, anytime I get a new coloring medium in my hands, I usually have to try it out on some kind of floral design…and I just didn’t think sunflowers were […]
