Cuteness with Colored Pencils
Cathy Andronicou is here today, sharing a cute card she created using colored pencil techniques. Cathy blended her pencil work with “Zest It” to soften and pull color around the face, added cross hatches to provide a linen effect on cloth, and sharp strokes to create a fur like effect. Love the addition of the baker’s twine!
