CCEE1311 Pencils Only


Well.....my friend Charlene, the hostess of the CCEE Stampers Challenge for March, is really testing my abilities this month.  Last week I had a problem finding the tools to do the challenge.  Well....this week was VERY challenging for me.....I DO NOT LIKE COLORING WITH COLORED PENCILS.....I don't like the results at all.  So....when Charlene challenged us to only using colored pencils, I knew right away that my image would be small with few details.  I decided to go bold with the design and colors so the coloring of my image wouldn't be as much a focus.  I love this sweet image which was a gift from a dear stamping friend.

I will enjoy seeing the skills of the rest of the team with colored pencils on their creations.  I just know that this is not my 'fav' way to color.  Off I go to the CCEE Blog to be inspired.

i'm not a fan of colored pencils either. i guess the coloring doesn't end up smooth enough looking for me, i'm so anal. i sure love your colors and the little image.

Love your card and coloring. I have this image and think it's so adorable. Perfect sentiment to go with it too!

A beautiful card and you have done a great job with those pencils, I think the copics have spoiled us. I used to love the prisma pencils, but using them sure made my hands hurt.

Yep, I wanted to run for the Copics but I didn't. Your card looks great and I love all the dotted paper. I see you used your favorite red, black, and white to get you through. LOL

Your card is so pretty, Jo, and the image is darling! Your coloring looks awesome, I think you underestimate your pencil skill!

I think your bold colours are just lovely, Joanne!

Nice job with a medium you don't particularly like, Joanne!
