Great challenge -- and I just uploaded a card a few minutes ago -- without knowing the challenge -- but I used a colored pencil to draw the vein lines into a leaf -- rather lame -- I know -- but I figure it fits -- LOL!!! Thanks!!! Here it is:

LOL I was wondering that too!!
Sounds good - I just had my pencils out last night and put them back on the shelf - so better get them out again  .
Hard to think of a new way to use them, though, mine are just standard watercolour...
Thanks, Julia. |

Black Magic Technique
Great challenge Julia! I recently uploaded a card in my gallery that uses colored pencils for the Black Magic Technique. I'll have to make another one for this challenge.
The tutorial is on StampOwl's blog here : Black Magic Technique

Man, that Judy's fast! She even beat Julia! Great challenge - sometimes we move on to different mediums and forget the old. Good push in the right direction, Julia!

This sounds like fun. I love coloring! I hope I'm able to participate later today after I figure out what Gamsol is because it sure does seem to be popular! Have a great day everybody.

Well, it's a bit lateral but I did use my coloured pencils .
En route to making my Sharply Dressed Peacock , I discovered that I can blend my regular, non watercolour, colouring pencils with mineral spirits; but since I've never tried before, my first attempt is not worth showing, a couple of smudges in the wrong places. But it's new to me that I could use those pencils. |
