White Pencil on Black

Morning blog friends. Stopping in for a quick post before heading to work. As I was going through utube videos the other day, trying to get caught up. One technique caught my eye. It was on Sandy Allnock's channel. Coloring with white pencil on black cardstock. Very stunning, and I just had to try it. I was very happy how it turned out.


Hope you give this a try, and go check out Sandy's blog.

Welcome to your New Home

Hello everyone. I hope everyones week is going fine. After the weekend we had, I am enjoying the grey skies. The whole weekend was either freezing rain or snow. Not just one go round of each but multiple. I can not wait for winter to be over.

The other day I whipped up a 'new home' card before heading into work. A co-worker has just moved into a new apartment. I wanted her to know I was thinking of her on her big moving adventure.

I found the black letters in my stash, and adheared them to my card. The house was stamped right onto the card and colored with prisma color pencils. I used a white gel pen to add to the letters and house, and scattered a few sequins.

She was so touched by the card. Made me feel good to put a smile on her face. We  will have coffee next week, so I can see her new place.

happy crafting
