Many Ways to Color #19 - Colored pencils and Gamsol

Hi and welcome to my blog! Another way I like to color is using colored pencils and Gamsol (mineral spirits). The Gamsol helps to blend the pencil colors and gives a nice soft look. 

I pulled out a background from my stash that I made using a gelli plate. I then stamped the maple leaf on it and added gold embossing powder. I fussy cut the pumpkin stack and pop dotted it to the card front. 


Stamp:   Stacked Pumpkins - Sparkle N sprinkle
               Maple Leaf - Hero Arts
Embossing Folder:  Leaves - Unknown
Colored Pencils:  Prisma

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

  1. Gorgeous, that is a cool background you had and the leaf is a great touch, the embossing it is layered on is a great frame for it and I love the blending of the colors you got with the pumpkins!

  3. One day I am going to try the gamasol technique. Yours came out beautifully and looks fab against that wonderful background you created.
