Roses

Hi Everyone
Saturday I taught a class at Simply Said Rubber Stamps in Loveland Ohio. My class was a techniques class that focused on using colored pencils to color . I love coloring with colored pencils. Using gamsol and stumps to blend the colors is such an easy way to color and I wanted to teach the students how easy it really is. You can even layer colors which can add additional interest and depth to your image. Have you ever tried coloring that way? If not, give it a try. Let me share with you one of the cards that I used as a class sample.



Here is a closer view of the roses and the coloring.

There are so many coloring agents available today and this is just one of them, one that is such an easy way to color. Try it, you may like it.

Supplies I used:
Stamps - Just Rite Stamps With Sympathy
Pencils - PrismaColor
Gamsol
Glitter
Pearls - Fab Scraps
Spellbinders Die - Octagon 
Punch - Fiskars
Ribbon
Bow Maker - Craft-Dee BowZ

I am submitting my card in the following challenges-

I will be back soon, have a great week.

    Oh my word Barbara, what wonderful colouring of your roses ... They look as though you have picked them out of the garden with all the observation of Nature's colours you have replicated. Keeping the background of the card relatively simple shows your talent to such beautiful effect. I imagine that your class was very well attended ...well, I hope it was.

    Thank you for sharing this lovely card in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx ( OSAAT Team )

    Beautiful! Those students must have been tickled silly to see how easy a technique it is, but you make it all look so easy and natural.

    I love this card. Great coloring on those roses and thanks for the reminder to use my colored pencils and gamasol a lot more. My Copics are not too good anymore, but I do have my pencils which will make fantastic art too. Thanks as always for sharing your talents.
