Sunday Stamps Weekly Challenge #122 - Going in Circles

I can't remember where I got the little image of the girl on the fish but I colored her with color pencils. The bubbles are a stamp from Ryn Tanaka @ designsbyryn.com They have been colored with colored pencils as well. The sentiment is from Flourishes.

Below is the sketch.

Pan Pastels and Versa Mark Ink

Using the Sweet Florals and Swallowtail stamps from Stampin' Up!

On the first project I used the Sweet Florals stamp. I stamped with Versa Mark on Whisper White cardstock. Then I used the Pan Pastels and the sponges and tools that came with them to dab and smudge colors onto my stamped image. The Versa Mark grabs the pastels. I added some color pencil lines to get a little more detail.

I used the Swallowtail stamp and the Versa Mark and Pan Pastels same way as above. Then I used my black gel pen to identify the Swallowtail's body.

I am sure I will need some kind of fixative or acrylic spray to set the pastels. But I am enjoying this technique so much. It's very relaxing.

My entry for the Color Throw Down Challenge #376. The colors are pale pink, pale blue and tan. My butterflies are from Inkadinkadoo. I colored with color pencils and added a bit of Wink of Stella to them for some sparkle. I used Spellbinders Shapeabilities Ornate Squares. I daubed the Close To My Heart - blush and sky on to my die cut. Then using a color pencil I scribbled hash marks on the center. I used a Martha Stewart border punch on a piece of dsp from Glitz paper pack called Love you madly. It's all mounted on dimensional adhesives onto Stampin' Up! Pink Pirouette cs. The little Pastel Flowers are from The Paper Studio.
