Toy's Haven

Happy Sunday, stampers!

Well, it’s been quite hectic here this weekend.   We have a new baby in the house.  His name is Samson and he’s a 9 week old kitten.   For months now, my doctor has been urging me to get a small pet so that I have someone with me when the house is empty.   He’s also very good for my blood pressure!  It’s been awhile since I’ve had a little one in the house, though.  I had forgotten how much attention they demand and how they keep you up at night! Ha!

This week’s Technique Lovers Challenge is called Pencil Me In.   The object is to use pencil (not colored, regular old no.2) in your card or project.

I used pencil to color my image.   Since I didn’t want bold black outlines, I first inked up the image and then stamped off twice before stamping the image to color…. that way, the outlines are faint and look like a pencil drawing.

Here are my details:

Stamps:  There She Goes’ Blossom by Blossom and There She Goes’ Just For You

Papers: GP White, Basic Black, PTI charcoal gray, Pretty in Pink

Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, copics

Accessories: 1/2″ pink satin ribbon, lattice border punch, sticky tape, dimensionals, pencil, fairy tale rose, Aleene’s clear gel glue

Here’s a little close up:
