Every now and then I love to pull out pencils on kraft card; they just go so well together! The Winnie & Walter Addies’s Garden set has great images for colouring; I stamped the flower in Versamark ink on Desert Storm card and white heat embossed. Stamped again on masking paper and trimmed out and adhered then stamped the leaf image and again embossed. I blend with Prismacolor pencils in the same way I do Copics – starting with a light shade, adding medium and darker shades and blending back out to the light shade again. I don’t have a large set of pencils so add more highlights and shading with the white and black pencils. When complete I cut the kraft card with a Stitched Rectangle.
I tied Lawn Fawn twine around the panel and then adhered the ‘hello’ circle from the Simon Says Stamp Butterflies set stamped in Sunshine ink and the ‘you’ from Neat and Tangled’s You + Me stamped in Versamark on Slate card and white heat embossed.
A few enamel dots and Studio Calico wood veneer stars finished the panel off which I then mounted on a White card base.

What a lovely card Debbie. There’s just something about it that exudes warmth in its simplicity. I have these pencils….I have this stamp set….I think I can CAS this card. Thank you….I love your work.
I love the look of pencils on Kraft, and this is why – your card is beautiful! I seem to struggle with “white space”, but you made such good use of it. This card just feels like it has the perfect amount of color and embellishment. I love everything about it!
Total loveliness. Calm and beautiful. Love.
Brilliant! I have no Copics but I do have some colored pencils. This is a great lesson for me in how to build a stunning card with what I have. Thank you so much!
Really lovely especially with the white embossed outlines. Also think the little wooden stars are the perfect embellishment on the kraft base :-)
Gorgeous!
For someone with just a few colors your shading is fabulous. Love seeing kraft used with colored pencils.
This is a beautiful card. The coloring is incredible. Love it.
Beautiful card I need to make some time to try coloring with my pencils on Kraft. Thanks for the inspiration.
I just love your work and you have inspired me to try some of the things you use. The June kit was a favorite. I also follow your blog and your U-Tube channel Your videos are so well done and easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing!
