Best Wishes

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. This week Charlene Merrick continues to issue the challenges.

Pencils Only, Please. No markers, no crayons, no reinkers. Use colored pencils to color your image.

Normally I would be complaining about a challenge like this, but recently I was playing with my Faber-Castell Pastel Pencils and as they are pencils I figured I would use them for the challenge this week … I also remembered seeing this beautiful stamp in my stash when I was looking for something else recently which was perfect for the technique I wanted to use on my card, which is the Black Magic Technique.

I stamped the image onto black card using white ink and once that was dry I colored over the white areas using my Pastel Pencils. I added blue rhinestones to the centres of each of the flowers.

Don’t forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog (goes live 12 AM EST) to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs:
