Black Magic using pencils

Hi Crafting Friends,

This is my card for the challenge on CCEE Stampers blog.

Apparently the 30th March is Pencil Day … For the challenge this week, feature pencils, colored pencils, crayons etc on your card creations. Either use this medium to color your image, or feature an image of pencils, crayons etc.

I don't use pencils too often but I recently watched a Gina K tutorial on Black Magic Technique with colored pencils. It looked like so much fun I thought I would give it a try.

I recently purchased the Holiday Tapestry stamp set, I thought the leaf flourish would be suitable for this technique. I was really happy with the results.

Firstly I stamped the image with moonlight white ink and once dried I added the colour pencils over the ink, because the ink was pearlescent it gave the image a nice glow.

I then added the dots with a white gel pen.

I created the owl using a die, after die cutting I placed it onto white card with double sided tape on it and then covered the whole are with microfine glitter. I the coloured the owl with copic markers.

Inside I placed a simple pop up sentiment.

Supplies: Gina K - Holiday Tapestry, Derwert -artists pencils, brillance ink - moonlight white, Karen Burniston - Katherine Label pop-up - Anita Frames pop-up (retired) Occasions stamp set (retired) owl die, microfine glitter, white gel pen, copic markers.

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers have created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs.
