I just got around to assembling my images into cards last week, and these are a couple of them. Both images are colored and blended with Prismacolor pencils. For the leaves on the branch, we colored green on one end, orange on the other and blended over the entire thing with yellow. The yellow makes the colors absolutely pop!
Except for the scrap of green paper I used for the Cuttlebug embossed mat, all of the paper I used on this card is from Memory Box.

Most of the paper on this one is from my scrap pile, but the printed paper the image is stamped on is from Memory Box.
So what are the best tips I learned from the class? Well...I think the best was to use another color for blending. Generally speaking you'll want to use a color lighter than the ones you colored with, but get your pencils out and start scribbling. You might be very pleasantly surprised by what you come up with. The other tip I would share is to use your patterned paper! It add so much interest to your image panel and pretty much eliminates the need to do anything with the background.
So get out those pencils are start playing!
These are so lovely! Thanks for sharing your tips from class, too! ;0)
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of these tow cards, and I appreciate you sharing the tips you learned. I will definitely have to try blending with color.
ReplyDeleteOops! Typo in previous comment -- that's "two" cards. Sorry.
