Inktense!!!

All my new goodies I ordered last week arrived yesterday so I just had to spend some more time in my craft room tonight.  I got a bunch of new Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, some of the new memento ink colors and a new pentel watercolor brush.  So I decided to put away the copic markers for tonight and play with my inktense watercolor pencils.  I have been wanting to try a project with them for awhile now.  First of all I love my new watercolor brush, it has such a fine tip on it and I can get some great detail with it. I decided to use the Peony Kraftin' Kimmie stamp I got in my last order for this card.  The challenge this week is a white on white card except for the main image.  I wanted to do a really bright image and I thought the Peony stamp would work really well for that.

I also got the chance to use my new Spellbinders M-bossabilities folder "splendid" for this card.  I made a white card base then cut a white layer to emboss.  Then I cut out a white scalloped oval and plain oval with spellbinders petite scalloped and petite ovals large.  I edged everything with a pixie dust chalk ink just to give them a little bit of definition.  I stamped Peony with ranger black archival ink and then colored her with the watercolor pencils.  I then went over the image with the aqua brush to blend all the colors together well.  I also colored over the bow in her hair with a sakura clear stardust pen.

Inktense colors - fuchsia & chilli red for dress
                        - mustard, willow & baked earth for hair
regular watercolors - rose pink & flesh pink for face and body
                              - turquoise green for eyes

I cut the image out and glued her to the middle of the oval and then attach to card with 3d foam dots.  I then added really tiny white pearls to the centers of all the embossed flowers visible.

Well now I have to wait a whole week for the next challenge LOL!  I guess I'll have to go find some other challenges to do later this week.  I am happy I did manage to get my three posts up for this week, that makes up for only one last week.

Have a very Happy Canada Day everyone!!!! I hope the weather is better tomorrow so everyone can get out and enjoy the festivities.  I'll be back in a couple of days with another post. Thanks for stopping by my blog and until next time happy crafting everyone!!!
