What a nice day! The sun is shining a bit. This card was done with prismacolored pencils and terpenoid. I couldn't find that crazy Gamsol. Thanks to Deb Ze, peanutebee - Denise, and Debby for your information on how to do this technique. This was my first try. Any advice or pointers?

Kim, your image is so beautifully colored and with a technique I've yet to hear about. Trust me, if this is your first attempt at doing this technique, you've got me fooled! I think this is stellar, and nothing less than that! You can now move on to another technique because you've sured mastered this one.
Hope today was better for you. Remember, that's the beauty of time! Take good care.

The coloring is wonderful! Here we don't have Gamsol nor Prismacolor pencils available (at least I wasn't able to find them), so I tried with another brand of pencils and citrus terpenoid too. Friends told me that linseed-oil would do the same job and smell less horrible, but I didn't try this yet!
