Oldies Technique #13 -- Colored Pencil Shadow

Hi and welcome to my blog. I have had such fun revisiting Oldies techniques this year. I have another one to show you. It is called colored pencil shadow. You can also do this technique with chalks but I find that I make a big mess using chalks and I can get into smaller spaces using pencils. The effect is about the same with both, maybe the chalks giving a softer look.







Supplies needed:

black or dark card stock
white pigment ink
solid stamp
colored pencils


Ink up your stamp with the white pigment ink and stamp it on the black card stock. You will need to let the ink dry a bit or dry it with your heat tool.


Start coloring in areas of the image with your pencils.



Keep coloring until the image is completely colored. You will see a white "shadow" around the image. 


Not only can you do this technique on dark card stock, but here are two that I did on kraft card stock.








This is so easy and looks neat! I hope you have fun with this technique. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!
