Stamp #450 Stampendous

Today I tried playing with some koh-i-noor colored pencils and gamsol.  I am trying to decide if I should make an InkTense purchase.  This technique that I have tried before with the gamsol has a very nice look but each time I seem to not enjoy the blending part so much.  I think I would rather blend with copics.  but then to get ALL the copics…GASP…it is cost prohibitive.  I have my Staedler water color pencils but that always seems to leave a pencil line on the edges which I don’t like.  I think I have played around with enough color to know that blending is a favorite past time for me but just not with the gamsol.  
I needed a baby girl card.  Stampendous to the rescue.  This image is the cutest.   This will be entered into Simon’s Wednesday Bright Colors Challenge  I used that nice bright blue and then bright pink ribbon I laced through the eyelet border die from SNSS. Hero Arts CL342 Sentiment stamp.

  2. Janeen, this is really beautiful! I would not have guessed it was colored pencils and gamsol. The shading on the flowers is amazing. I wish you were here, I would let you try my inktense out and see if you like them. I was given a 50.00 voucher for my 50th birthday from one of my closest GA friends so I purchased a big set. I like them very much. I am no pro at them though. I should probably work with them more often! Your card is so sweet. Sure to put a smile on a new mommy's face!!!

  3. Awww... this is an oldie but goodie and favorite image. You've done it up so sweet here, perfect baby card. So not a fan of gamsol then? Since I got my Copics I almost never use pencils.
