PTI Make It Monday #30: Colored Pencils

As chance should have it, no work on Monday! So instead, I had the chance to hang out in my craft room with the kitties all morning making cards. *Sigh*


I decided to participate in this week's Make It Monday challenge: colored pencils. I am usually quite averse to anything that requires coloring (or hand cutting), but decided to give it a go anyway.


Here's Nichole's blurb about the challenge:


"Everybody is crazy over Copic markers, but we're kickin' it old school today with a video on colored pencils. Let Jennifer show you how inexpensive, blendable, and impressive projects can be using this coloring medium."


And here's my card. Note: I used the colored pencils on a colored card stock base, so I had some of the melon berry color peeking through. I used a combination of three colors; pink, coral and maroon to get my rose effect. What do you think?

And now, some fun videos from my Darling Husband.

The first is a time-lapse video of our trail ride from Black Rock to Harrison to the bridge over Lake Coeur d'Alene and then back to harrison. Be sure to play this in 720 HD for the full effect. Such a beautiful ride!

This is a video of me falling down, in high resulution.

Cheers!
