Spectrum Noir Pencils on Kraft card

hi there crafters

 i do hope your all keeping warn 

 we had a very hard frost come in over night  

flip it's cold here .. 

when i got up it looked like my first card im sharing today out side 

Chilly is not the word lol 

did you catch our Leann  from Crafters Companion

and the fantastic 

Premier of the 

Spectrum Noir Blendable Pencils

i sat glued to the TV what a great show

 as i said i have put these pencils through there paces 

experimenting on all different  types of card stock

 kraft card is so popular what a great way to test them !

  i don't normally use Kraft Card so this was a challenge for me 

did i have fun oh yes!!!

 it can be very hard to totally block out the base card color

but not with these beauties

take a look

 this is using the fabulous Sheena Douglass stamp 

 with the Spectrum Noir Pencils and Blending Fluid on the  buildings 

on the roofs that is the White pencil on it's own 

now that to me shows the quality of these pencils 

you are able to get a good coverage with  these pencils

the falling snow is white Pebeo acrylic paint

this one  is using the layering technique 

where you use a light -medium- and dark to get dimension  

 i hope you can see how well they blend

 to a smooth seamless  finish

 i added the tiniest touch of white acrylic paint to the snow then on his wellies for the shine

and finally

 just couldn't resist making a card with this image 

he tickles me  every time is see his expression  go on admit we all feel 

at some point over the festive season a bit frazzled  and grumpy

i know i do 

i used  a blender pencil to blend the colors together 

  i hope i have been able to show you 

 these pencils work brilliant on Kraft Card

 thanks for dropping by today
