Continuing on from our earlier tutorial about using the coordinating cut sheets, stamps and dies, I have another technique idea for you. This time we're going to colour over the top of the cut sheets with either pencils, which I'm using, or markers. With this technique, you can enhance, darken, or lighten the pre-coloured images, or even change them completely!
I've opted to enhance and darken the images, so I'm using pencils that are close to the same colour but darker by a few shades, plus little hints of black to deepen those shadows and create a stronger contrast.
Here they are all coloured. As you can see, the pencil leaves added texture on the paper. If you prefer a smoother finish, you can either use markers or blend out the pencil with wax or oil depending on the type of pencils you're using.
A comparison...
Here's a birthday card made with the colour-enhanced images.
