Coloured Pencil Resist

The Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix challenge has moved to Facebook (Gina K Designs & Stamp TV Friends), and this month the challenge is Coloured Pencil Resist.

The coloured pencil resist technique is similar to the emboss resist technique. After I stamped the image, I used a white coloured pencil to colour in parts of the flower and leaves. Then I blended the ink over the image, and wiped the ink off the coloured pencil areas.  The coloured pencil resists the ink and stays mainly white.

I cut out the image with an oval die, and cut a slightly larger white oval for the layer. I blended ink over the edges so that it matched the ink on the image. 

The embossed background was attached to a black layer and then added to a white card base. After the ovals were attached, I added the sentiment.

I used the following products:

Lotus Shaker card

Today, I have a card for the Penguin Palace Challenge #21 - Interactive. 

I chose to do a shaker card.

I used the Penguin Palace Sacred Lotus Stencils 360° for my image. I decided to cut the image in half and make a mini slimline card. I die cut a circle off the edge and used the cut off piece as the background for the shaker portion. I used a small bag to hold my shaker bits, so they wouldn't escape!

The sentiment is from the Penguin Palace An Amazing Friend stamp set.
