Magnolia for Her colored with Inktense Pencils

May 29, 2019 1 Comment

Each time I use my Inktense pencils I fall in love more.  I created 22 of these cards for a swap I joined for the local Scrapbook Expo.  With a whole lot of coloring on these magnolia flowers, I sharpened these pencils and never had a breakage.  I LOVE these pencils.  These pencils have “ink” in the title because once you color you can also take a blender brush with a little water and the color will intensify (hence the “tense” part of the name of the pencils).    Layer the flowers by starting  with a white base, when using black paper.  Use a scratch piece of paper and working with the colors to find the look you want.  I also blended the pencil strokes and colors with a blender nub (stump).  It really helps the coloring blend.

The Altenew Fancy Greetings Sentiment stamp set paired with the Altenew Magnolia for Her stamp set are a perfect pair.  .  The black panel was also embossed with the Diamond Netting embossing folder from Fun Stampers Journey.  It really adds another layer of depth to the card.  I added a small piece of glimmer paper behind the sentiment to add a little bling to the card.

 

I am still pretty new to coloring but the more I play, the better I like the results.  Don’t be afraid to take a chance, get out that product that you have that you are afraid to use.  You may just surprise yourself!
