Coloring Pencils Background and tips | Video Post
July 25, 2017
I meant to create a night snowy Christmas scene but somehow I captured in my projects the cheerful mood of our days here in the north of Scotland. With a temperature of 25 ℃ we are having the best summer in the last few years with sunny days and blue skies.
So I have started thinking about Xmas and I want to share with you a few projects featuring the beautiful images from Christmas Town Stamp set by Simon Says Stamp! and as colored pencils are so trendy I decided to give them a try.
Have a better look at the stamp set I used

| Buy SSS Christmas Town $15.99 USD - £12.30 |
The set includes 21 individual stamps... perfect to create christmas, christening or "new home" greeting cards. I love it!
The house image measures 2- 1/2" x 2" ( 6.5x5 cm) the church 3"x1-1/2" (7.5x 4 cm) the cottage 2" x1- 1/2 " (5x4cm).
These images offer endless and effortless colouring opportunities - you can use markers, watercolors, acrylics or any other paint you have available .
Last week I received a happy mail with different types of colour pencils by Faber Castell. I got Polychromos Mix media , Faber-Castell Polychromos Colour Pencils Tin Of 36
that seems to be the best in the range and I also got a tin of Classic Faber Castell and those are the ones I used to colour my projects today.I also was wondering if my mum's old colouring techniques will work to create a smooth background with coloring pencils and actually it did.
So in the video below! I explain better the process
So as I show in the video I used color pencils to create a smooth background on the cards today. I applied a very easy blending technique using baby oil and makeup blender sponges.
Below some pictures so you can have a closer look.
That's all!
