Recently I’ve seen someone show how to use colour pencils on some colouring pages and I decided to give the technique a try. I used a new border stamp found in a dollar store by Forever in Time and proceeded to use Prisma colour pencils with the result as you see here. I am really pleased with how this turned out and as my preference is to use pencils I shall be doing more colouring this way for sure. For some added interest I scored a few lines down the sides of the image. I added the sentiment which is from an old StampinUp set, and I also used the smallest butterfly from this set which was fussy cut. I added some red sparkle to the butterfly and some glitter to one word in the sentiment. Some Pops of Color on the body and underneath the sentiment and the card was done.
An easy card kept simple and just in time for the challenge at Color Hues. Thanks for popping in to look.

Thanks a lot. I am watching someone use various brands of colour pencils and get amazing results so I shall be trying a few more ways using my own.

Your floral border is absolutely delightful and I so appreciate that you used colored pencils. I love using them but unfortunately mine have been neglected, so I appreciate the inspiration you’ve provided here! The scoring is a really wonderful addition to highlight the border. Such a pretty card and I’m so happy you shared wth us at Color Hues!

Thanks a lot. Get your pencils out and surprise yourself. I like that I have more control with a pencil than with paint.

Many thanks. I have a tendency to want to add more to what is supposed to be a CAS design, so the scored lines were a happy intervention.
