TLC664 ~ Pencil Monochrome ~ 11/13/17
 

Hello Technique Lovers!

First of all, I want to thank Lydia (UnderstandBlue) for her fab tutorial last week as we make "Everything Old (is) New Again" the first Monday of each month. Check out her Polished Stone update in TLC663 if you missed it! And second, I am posting a little early, as I have a commitment this evening, and may be out late! Gasp!

Today we are going to pull out our colored pencils! But -- maybe it will just be PENCIL (singular), as we are looking at designing cards using the PENCIL MONOCHROME tutorial by Dina. Her video is just wonderful, and gives some tips on making ONE pencil give several shades of color, as well as burnishing. You don't need fancy pencils for this - any colored pencil will work!

There is a special gallery (besides the TLC664) that you can upload your card:
Home >>>Technique Spotlight >>>Pencil Monochrome Cards & More


My sample: Stick Together
TLC664 Gallery Submissions
Keyword: TLC664 (please add this to your keywords, so we can find your cards!)

Have fun shading!

Here's my poinsettia card using this technique!

Away from home...I can't make a card but I do have one stamp set Anne pencils with me, so I hope to try to make a piece to use on a card next week.

Great challenge, Judy. It made me take out my colored pencils which I haven't used in a long, long time. Here's my card.

Enjoyed pencil coloring today; very relaxing! :) https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/g...&ppuser=429578

This was the perfect time to try this pencil technique using just the one color, DD and I had a Journey Bloom Box come in yesterday so these birds were the perfect test subjects for me to play.

Thanks for the pencil technique. Here is my card: https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/g...&ppuser=206891

Monochrome is beautiful!

This was fun! Challenging to choose the image that would pop with just one color! Happy birthday with poppies, one of my favorite flowers.

Thanks Judy!! Here is mine! https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/g...6952?nocache=1

I've had some fun playing with techniques this week, including this wonderful Pencil Monochrome. Thanks for the fun challenge Judy!
