Darnell is back with a super duper NBUS celebration! The first week's challenge is to use colored pencils on kraft. I own a few good quality pencils & I have plain & metallic cheap sets. Most of you know, I don't do much coloring--although I do love using the Zig Clean Color brush markers. PTI Botanical Blocks IV called to me the first day I saw it, but it didn't get opened last year.
I needed something not difficult to color & decided to try the holly block. The sentiment is from the same set & everything is stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia. Actually, it was fun to do some simple coloring & came out good enough to post, I think--haha!
Didn't want to cover the colored pencils with glitter, but needed some pizzazz. Thought copper Perfect Pearls might be pretty & oh my goodness--it's so beautiful on kraft! I'm also entering Christmas Card Challenges & Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
What a beautiful card. I love all the sparkle. Thanks so much for joining us this week at Christmas Card Challenges. Also, your card has been featured on our Facebook page -- https://www.facebook.com/christmascardchallenges/
This is a beautiful kraft card and a jump on Christmas cards - a twofer! I like how you got shading on your holly leaves and the addition of the copper is just stunning.
You chose wisely, Greta! That stamp is simply stunning colored on kraft! And the copper must be sensational in real life!! (AND you have a Cc for the stash!) Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #8! Hugs, Darnell
The shimmery holly leaves look gorgeous on kraft! A great idea I'll have to remember! I thought you had used your metallic pencils which I also own and always forget to use...
The copper perfect pearls do look good against the kraft card. Love your simple holly spray which is all the card needs. Hugs Mrs A.
