I totally forgot to do a blog post for the card I posted on my Instagram yesterday, so here it is. :) I will be featuring MFT's Tweet Wishes. I recently received a wonderful gift from my boyfriend that I am beyond grateful for. I have been wanting to try my hand at color pencils because of all the beautiful cards crafty guru's like Nicole Spohr and Sandy Allnock have been making with them. I received a large package of Prismacolor Pencils in the mail last week and wanted to create a card using them. From what I gather the color payoff is most present on craft card stock; luckily I had one piece of 4.25 x 5.5 in my stash, which means I will be adding craft card stock to my list of supplies I need to purchase. This card was definitely not planned out, I was working at what I wanted to do as I was making the card. I used my MISTI to stamp two images from the Tweet Wishes stamp set; I also made a mask for the owl because I wanted the tree behind it. I used various colors of blue, yellow, green, and browns to color the images. I had no idea where to start with the colors because I have not made swatches for all the colors I have (I still need to do this). I looked up on google which shades would blend well with each other. Once I was done I used MFT's Scallops Basic Edge dies to cut the edge of the craft cardstock as well as another edge from white cardstock. . I used a pattern paper from my stash that seemed to go with the geometric shape of the owl I used. I popped up my image panel with fun foam. I used one of the sentiment from the set and stamped it with Versafine Onyx Black. I hope you like my simple card. :)
