The challenge for this month for my Crafters of Faith Blog group was to try a new technique, while also making use of some old things in your stash and making use of something new. I had never tried this technique before, and I have to admit, I had to dig around to find those old colored pencils I had put somewhere in my stamproom. I also made use of an old stamp from a retired Stampin' Up set. Lydia had a great tutorial over on Splitcoaststampers for this blended pencils technique. First you stamp in a light neutral color (I used sahara sand), then you outline with the darker of the colors you are going to use. Then you color in with a lighter shade of that color the remainder of the image. After that I used my copic blender pen over it. Finally, you outline the image with a fine point pen. I used a new embossing folder I had gotten recently and used some new bling. I hope this little bluebird of happiness will brighten someone's day!!!

Liz, I am trying to post a comment again. My post from last night is not here! I hope this one works.
I just love the new things that you tried! That vivid color of blue is eye catching. The embossing folder is just the perfect one for the card. I also like to work with colored pencils!
Wow, Liz! What a beautiful card! I love that stamp set, it's one of my fav's and you have taken it to a whole new level. What a great technique, thank you for showing me the way! The yellow on the flower really brings out the blues of the bird and cardstock too. Very well done!
