Today’s post is part of a blog hop to celebrate the new Blossoms And Butterflies release from Simon Says Stamp – more on the hop below. I do love florals and was immediately drawn to the beautiful Floral Mix Background set. I’ve linked all supplies at the end of this post.

PENCILS ON KRAFT

Second to watercolouring, coloured pencils on kraft has to be my next favourite way to colour. I particularly like the smooth, cool grey of Toned Gray paper from Strathmore when using coloured pencils and stamped the Floral Mix Background in Whisper from Gina K. I’m really enjoying using this ink; it is a pale ink so that it disappears and yet gives you a visible guide when colouring.

I then took my time and enjoyed colouring in a bunch of gorgeous flowers with Faber Castell Polychromo pencils. I also added a few white gel pen details too. I then die cut a circle from the background with a Nested Circle die.

For the sentiment, I stamped a greeting from the Tiny Words Encouragement set in clear embossing ink on a Black card and white heat embossed before trimming to a skinny banner and foam mounting over the colouring.

I cut a panel of Ivory card and stamped the Sketchy Lines Background in Whisper ink (I can see this ink becoming a firm favourite) to give a little more interest to this simple design and then mounted the Ivory panel on a Fog card base before mounting the pencil coloured circle on top. I added a sprinkling of Enchanting sequins to finish.
