I stamped in Stazon Jet Black, then colored in with pastel pencils - the technique is similar to the Prismacolor Pencils/odorless mineral spirits in that you color and blend with blending stumps...except these pencils don't require a blending medium. They're basically chalk in a pencil form. I masked the mouse and added in some tufts of grass (Biblical Impressions) and a ladybug (StraightForward Stamps). I used my "Scrap Strip" technique to fill in the background......I have my paper scraps in page protectors by color, and I kept seeing all these great reds together. Love the effect, sort of quilty. Handwriting is mine on the tag.
Here's a tutorial on my blog for the scrap technique: http://mamadinis.blogspot.com/2006/1...-tutorial
