Before I left for vacation, I stamped out a lot of images to color. I just received my Faber-Castel Polychromos Pencils and I wanted to practice. The first thing I did was create a swatch card for my pencils. It really helps to see what colors look like on different kinds of paper. I colored on both white and kraft cardstock.
The plus side of colored pencils is that you can use an eraser. It may not completely erase, but at least the project is not totally ruined. Another plus of colored pencils is that there is no drying back. The color you see on the paper is what you get.
For my cards, I used Spring Time, Summer Time and Autumn Time from Waffle Flower. I just colored away with no plan. After, I over-stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and used clear embossing powder. Then I die cut them with the coordinating dies. Some easy ink blending for back grounds. I played around with placement until I found arrangements I liked and I adhered everything down with foam tape. I kept it simple and did not add embellishments. Mainly because I couldn't find a look I liked.
