If you have visited my blog before you may know that I like to use pencils to colour. my favourite at the moment being Derwent coloursoft. I have tried sansodor to blend the pencils in the past and although I love the effect, just find the whole thing a bit messy, and the drying time is forEVER!!
so I have generally just gone for a non-blended look, which I do love.
However today I tried.... fanfare..... a blender pencil!!!!! Why did I not know about these before? The image on this card was coloured in very roughly and then just blended! simple as that!! and this is only the first time I've used it, so I am expecting to get better at it.... ooh the ideas that are forming in my head!!!
anyway, the stamps: Jasmin and swirl stalks are both from Jo's range from stampotique available at Happy Daze
I am entering this for wednesday stamper's "we love purple" theme. And indeed I do love purple!!
This is a beautifully made card. Yes we all love purple....When I am old I shall wear purple poem comes to mind!
