Celebrating National Pencil Day - CCEE1913

CCEE hostess, Kelly McKown-Santi has issued her final challenge for March.
Tomorrow is National Pencil Day.
Kelly wants the CCEE Stampers to create cards coloring our images 
with colored pencils
 (no markers, watercolors, etc) 
or featuring a pencil in our image 
or both!


Well, coloring absolutely is not my thing. I think because it takes me so long to create a card when I have to color the image by hand instead of stamping it on with ink. I do, however, have a large collection of Unity Girls that need to be colored.

Today I have created my card using Poppy Girl by Unity. After coloring her with Prismacolor Pencils and blending with mineral spirits, I masked the image and stenciled on the background before adding the sentiment.



Look in on what the CCEE DT Members chose to color for you today!!
