Hello everyone!
I hope you are well. I have a little ‘play time’ project to share with you today.
I have been picking my pencils up and down over the past few months and having a play with them here and there, but I would always give up too easy, find an excuse why they weren’t working for me and run straight back to my comfort zone – markers! hehe
BUT!!! For the last couple of nights I gave myself a little talking to and sat down to colour with my Prisma pencils once again. This time I wasn’t allowed to throw away the image half way through, and had to complete it, just to finish it. So… I did!
The image I have been playing with is one of the new adorable Magnolia Stamps – Princess Welcome Tilda from the Princes & Princess collection.
Overall, it’s OK. I’m upset with how dark the legs got. I really wanted more highlight on the right hand side but it kept getting darker each time I tried to fix it, so I have decided to ignore them! lol
I’m reasonably happy with the choice in skin colours (you should have seen my experiments!!) and I love the colours of the dress.
I left the background ‘scratchy’ to show it was coloured in pencil. I guess it was my touch of ‘artistic flair’ – LOL
I didn’t use any solvent to blend – mainly using a lighter colour to blend and then blend with the white, and finally I smoothed it out a little using a paper stump.
A close up to prove it is pencil – but don’t look too closely!! haha
The DP is also from Magnolia – Cloudy Purple Hearts – “Sweet Crazy Love collection”. I think it is one of my favourites actually. I don’t do very well with DP, but the nice small pattern and muted colour works nice!!
Thanks for popping by!! I hope you have a fabulous weekend.

Oh Zoe your Coloring is Amazing!!
WOW, WOW, WOW……absolutely spectacular!!!!!
Hi Zoe, I love you card and the coloration of the stamp is stunning. I’d like to learn this coloration but I think is very difficult. Have you a tutorial for this coloration?
I love in your card the piece of texture and the blings.

Francy, I’m sorry I don’t have any tutorials on colouring with pencils. I am still only new to it myself so wouldn’t feel worthy of offering advice yet! xxoo
Hi Zoe! Your colouring is magic; you can color with markers or pencils or anything else, it’s always stunning!
Hugs, Franz.
Zoe, your coloring is beyond beautiful, prisma is the medium I have used longer and am most comfortable with, and I am still taming my Copics… LOL. It is not that easy to fell at ease with a medium… Your card is just beautiful, and we are always very hard on ourselfves, when it comes to judging our work…
be kind to yourself, your work is awesome. Hugs.
Hi Zoe, wonderful coloring with the pencils. I am a big fan of you and watch you copic video’s over and over. And yesterday i have bought a background digi stamp. But i had a lot of trouble to color it, But you are a great artist with coloring no matter what for pencils/markers you use. Your card is extraordinary beautiful, totally gorgeous.
