What an absolute pleasure it is to be here at the Ellen Hutson Classroom today! I seriously had so much fun playing with the recent new release products that I couldn’t just stop at one card, so I have two to share with you and a video showing the process.
Today is all about adding some easy shading to a solid image using Prismacolor Pencils and these stamp sets are perfect for this!
For my first card I used the Snailed It Stamp Set and I created my own little background scene before adding the star of the show, the snail.
I kept the shading very simple in this design to show that anyone can do this! But if you wanted, it would be easy to build on this and add so much more depth and detail.
My second card takes the technique just a little bit further. I stamped a simple bouquet with the Thistle Stamp Set and used Prismacolor Pencils to add some shading but also to add some extra details to the flower stems and to the blooms.
To add a little extra something to the clean and simple design I did use a Wonky Stitched Oval die from My Favorite Things to add an embossed border around the design.
I decided to film the process as I created and you can see my video here:
