Hi all. I have joined the Pink Inkers Group on Facebook and their challenge this month is colouring using just pencils with minimal added colour. I luckily have a range of pencils which I have had for years but haven't really used them as a colouring medium with a stamp.
I used B, 2B, 3B and 6B pencils to build up the shading having first stamped the images from the Sea Turtle set using Versafine Smokey Gray ink and then added a background using a Sweet Dixie stencil called Splash, and using a stencil brush I managed to frame the turtle without getting the blue ink on the image itself. I made sure I didn' t make it too dark so as not to overshadow it, starting darker around it and gradually fading it out using Adirondack Stonewashed ink.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope to see you again soon.

PI have some fabulous images and you have showcased this lovely Turtle beautifully Pat. Confess I don't own a single one though, they are large and with the need to be coloured send me running as I'm just not a colourist.
Thanks so much for joining us at Allsorts 'Feminine' challenge this week.

What a fabulous tonal card with great shading/colouring with the pencils. I like the subtle stencilling in the background and what a striking turtle Pat x. A real stunner of a card x.
I remember this turtle from an earlier card. This card with her (must be e her because of her long lashes) is so beautiful, the soft background is perfect and I love the whole scene, Pat!
