Through the Purple Haze Challenges #30 - use pencils

A new challenge at Through the Purple Haze Challenges!


Through The Purple  Haze Challenges


Derwent is our sponsor this week. They manufacture fine drawing and coloring pencils.

Derwent

This week's challenge is to use colored pencils. You may draw your design or use pencils to color in your design. Since I can't draw, I stamped a Penny Black image called Fanciful (cling stamp from a set of two stamps) and used Derwent soft pencils to color in my flowers. The two colors I used were Indigo and Fuschia. I put Diamond Stickles on the tips. My card is pretty plain and simple but it is a sympathy card so no need to fussy it up.


Here is my card:






I hope you will stop by the challenge and see what the other team members have come up with. There are some real beauties there!



Challenges I will enter:
Squirrel and the Fox- spooled, use ribbon, twine, lace, or thread
Make It Monday - comments
Open Minded Crafting Fun - make it monochrome
Love to Create - Anything Goes

Have a great and crafty week!!!

  3. It's a shame we even have to make sympathy cards, but this one is just gorgeous and gives off a peaceful feeling. The perfect, peaceful card to share with someone suffering a loss.
    Have a great day, Darcy.

  10. This is so beautiful, even more so when you see the close up of the flowers. The colors are perfect together, and the stickles really shine. Great use of ribbon.
