Santa was a very good boy and (with a nudge in the right direction) left me some new Polychromo pencils under the tree! Hurrah. I've fancied having a go with these for ages but could never justify spending the £££s
It's a totally different way of colouring than I'm used to with my watercolour pencils, so I'll need plenty of practice.
This first one is an oldie from LOTV. I definitely need to do a bit of studying on how to colour hair and folds in clothing, mines a bit rubbish!
- Tuesday Morning Sketches #484 - anything goes
- Through the Craft Room Door - anything goes
- Simon Says Stamp Work it Wednesday - try something new (my pencils)
- Cutie Pie #130 - add sparkle
- Pixies Snippets Playground #342
And here's a wee pic of our very own Christmas Elf, needless to say, Ruby wasn't too impressed ;)

I am truly impressed with your first go at coloring with your new pencils. Those cards look pretty darn perfect to me!! I love the images and the bits of sparkle and gloss you've added. Whoever receives these will love them. Also, Ruby is the cutest little elf ever. Her outfit is adorable. Happy New Year!!!
Lovely cards and lovely colouring, Lynne! Just look at Ruby in her elf suit! Soooooooo cute, Jo x
Two lovely cards Lynne - and I think your colouring is fine already! But, you will love the Polychromos pencils for sure. You may already know that but Sansodor Blending Solution is really great to use for blending the coloured in areas - it livens the colour up beautifully. I have a little clear twist cap plastic jar (came with a travel set of bottles etc I think) and I keep a little chunk of soft makeup sponge in there, kept moist with a touch of Sansodor. It lasts forever - and I use little blending stumps - the ones made by Ranger (I don't use a holder as the nibs are long enough to be honest) just to pick up the solution without soaking the stump.
Happy New Year!
