This week's technique is something called "Pencil Over". It was brought to my suggestion by Lisa (nmslmomto3), and I am so glad she did. This looks like a ton of fun!
Here's some inspiration, and then the directions:
from consuelo: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
from dbennett: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Here's how to do it!
Stamp your image with white craft ink onto dark cardstock. Let dry completely, or use your heat gun to speed up the process. Then color in the image using colored pencils, including coloring on the white stamped lines.
So simple, and such a different look.
As always, if you have questions, please ask. If you have suggestions, please share!
When you upload, please put TLC61 in the keyword section when you upload, and then post a link to your card here in this thread.
If you need help uploading or posting a link to this thread, check out this link: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us STAMPIN' !!
Have fun!
Wow, that sounds really neat! I'll definitely have to try this.
I can't believe I managed to catch this 1 minute after posting, I wasn't even stalking, I swear!

This sounds like fun. I need to make some cards and it's a cold, rainy day here in usually sunny Colorado. Thanks, Beth, for giving me something to do besides laundry. :rolleyes:

I don't really stamp much. I'm just here for the company.
Good Morning Beth and all you technique junkies! I have a question......
what if I don't have white craft ink??? Would regular white ink work???
or do I have to go to Michael's to buy white craft ink? and if so what brand??? because heaven knows I cannot wait for a SU order to come in on this one!!!
This sounds great. I know pretty much how I want to do it. I will start on it as soon as I get back from taking the kids to school. Do you think the watercolor pencils will work if I don't get them wet? I don't know if I want to dig for the regular colored pencils.
wow, Beth...I'm not to sure about this one, but I promise to at least give it a try...it may be later this week though...busy day for me. Thanks for posting an interesting new technique.

Craft ink is pigment ink, so if your white pad is pigment (like colorbox), I would think that would work.

Jen, Beth's sample from Consuelo uses watercolor pencils.
I was actually home today and had time to play with this fun technique. I'm not sure that I am too crazy about the color combo, though. I'll have to try some more.
