Today for the Ways to Use It Challenge, we were to use colored pencils. I made the plaid background with an older SU plaid making set, then colored it in with my watercolor SU pencils, but didn't use a blender or waterbrush with them like I usually do. Made the background of the sheep sign with an Impression Obsession tree stamp that I have, and used grid technique, albeit not in an ORDERLY fashion! Good thing I like the primitive style...that can be my excuse for never measuring anything...I can say it's suppoooosed to be that way!

Great job using your pencils!! Love the plaid and love your way of thinking about the scoring of the grid! I must remember that because I seem to have the same problem!! LOL! Love this!

Well, albeit! How sweet of you to acknowledge you might have had some perceptual issues with your scor pal. I do too, so you're not alone. I love the rustic feel to this card, AL. It's got a real sense of presence and warmth. Someone should be incredibly happy to receive this work of art (not that I'm intimating its a piece of work or anything even remotely similar thereto)
