I created this card this morning to show you the effect you can get using Prismacolor Pencils & Odorless Paint Thinner on dark colored card stock. I love this look and it is very easy to achieve.
Supplies:
| Stamps: Stampin’ Up Stardust |
| Paper: Stampin’ Up Not Quite Navy, Soft Sky & Night of Navy |
| Ink: Palette Noir Black, Stampin’ Up Night of Navy & Not Quite Navy |
| Accessories: Prismacolor Pencils, Mona Lisa Odorless Paint Thinner, White Gel Pen, Sponges |
Stamped sun with Palette Noir Black ink on Stampin’ Up Not Quite Navy card stock and then heat set it with my heat gun. Heating it helps keep the ink from smearing.
I use Prismacolor Pencils and Mona Lisa Odorless Paint Thinner and a little plastic cup to put my thinner in.
I dip my pencil directly into the thinner and then color with it. The Prismacolor pencil melts like butter on the paper. It’s wonderful! Some folks color and then use blending stumps dipped in thinner to blend with. I just blend with my pencils as I go. 🙂
Started with a Jasmine pencil.
Put the Whites of the sun’s eyes in with a white gel pen.
Added the True Blue pencil to his eyes.
Colored around the sun with True Blue pencil.
Add Pale Vermillion pencil.
Added Jasmine pencil to his face.
Colored more of his face in with Pale Vermillion pencil.
Added Poppy Red pencil to the flames, cheeks and outline of circle.
Added Deco Yellow Pencil to the outside of the sky area and his eyelids.
Added white dots to the sky area with a white gel pen.
Sponge Not Quite Navy ink to right, top & bottom of card stock.
Sponged Night of Navy ink over Not Quite Navy ink not covering it completely toward the center.
Sponged Noir Black ink over Night of Navy ink not covering it completely.
Sponged Not Quite Navy ink around edge of background panel.
Assembled card and here it is completed.
Hope you enjoyed seeing one of the effects you can get using Prismacolor pencils on dark card stock. Give it a try.
Have a sunshine filled day.
Until tomorrow. . . . . . .
