Have you had a chance to play along in The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge? Today is the 13th day I am participating in challenge! I have found it to be great motivation to work on my coloring.

To create this card, I started out by stamping the image onto both a ROCK label and the card base. Then I used my colored pencils and blended them with baby oil. (This is the way I do that technique.) I then brought out some Post-It Tape to block off just the image. After that I was able to bring out my homemade stencil to create the cloudy background. (HERE is the way I create stencils.) When that was done, I then stamped the sentiment underneath.

Stamps: House Mouse Designs Clear Stamp Set (POPHM51), Iris Play
Paper: CTMH White Daisy
Ink: CTMH Intense Black, Lilac
Accessories: CTMH Round Sponge, Prismacolor Premier Kelly Green, SAP Green Light, Blush Pink, Sienna Brown, Deco Peach, Imperial Violet, Chocolate, Parma Violet, Fantastix
