HB FLOWER FEST

For today's TRY A NEW TECHNIQUE CHALLENGE, to use a regular HB Pencil to color in an image. Also the sketch from today's CLEAN & SIMPLE CHALLENGE..

I heat embossed the images with the Pewter embossing powder from the Holiday Mini Catty. I then colored in the images using a regular HB pencil. I used the eraser to add some highlights and a little bit of a pink and green pencil crayon just to add a bit of interest. It looks much better in real life.

Card Supplies:

Stamps: SU Flower Fest

Paper: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Basic Grey

Ink: Versamark

Accessories: SU Circle & Flower Punch, SU Lace Border Punch, SU Neutral Buttons, SU White Bakers Twine, Dimensionals
