Colored Pencil on Natural Cardstock - Featuring Unity Stamp Co KOM

I love the technique of coloring on kraft card stock. I think it is beautiful! I haven't done it a lot so I wanted to try that technique on various colors of the natural card stock - kraft, dark kraft, gray, soft gray, and a green/kraft. These papers were in a Neenah card pack and were the start of where I wanted to go with these cards. I also had the January Unity Stamp Co. card kit that had some awesome images on it and thought they would be absolutely perfect for this technique.

I stamped the stamps in either white pigment ink or memento tuxedo black ink using the MISTI tool. I then used the Prisma colored pencils and colored them in. I didn't use gamsol this time as I felt they blended really well and I didn't need it on this card stock. After all the images were colored in I decided to just use some simple decorations with these cards. I didn't want to add any patterned paper, glitter paper, dimension, embossing or anything like that. I just wanted them to be plain and simple this time. Maybe that was because I was having a bad week and I didn't feel like doing it - or maybe I just liked the simplicity on this one!!! I have no idea which one!!!!

Everything's Coming Up Roses

Make a Wish

I added ribbon, nuvo drops, rhinestones and line stickers that I had left over from the Love from Lizi kits. Once I did that, these cards were complete! See, simple!

Heart Alive

Happy Everything

Beautiful When You Smile

I would love to see your creations of colored pencil on kraft or neutral card stock - I know that they will be incredible. Tag me in your pictures so I can see them on social media. Have an awesome day! Jude :-)

About Me

I have always loved cards and have forever been known as the "card lady"!!! However, only recently have I had the privilege of learning to love the art of card making, planning, and all things crafty. This is due to having to find a means of rehabilitation for my arms & hands after suffering a stroke, followed by a TIA a few months later. I was tasked with choosing therapy to regain strength and use in my arms, so I chose card making over standard therapy so I could do it from home. I was already doing speech therapy from home as a result of the stroke so I thought this would be the thing for me. It turned out I was right!

A little about me personally -- I have mentioned that I am a stroke survivor, but I am so much more! I am a happy wife, a mother of four older children and a mother to four precious furbabies. I previously had a long successful career but am now disabled. I now focus on the joy in life as much as I can. Oh, and in the girlie arena, I am a girl to the core! Makeup, shoes, fashion, books, snowglobes, magazines - all girlie kinds of things are my jam!

I am an avid rescue animal supporter - most especially pitbulls - who I believe get a bad rap and are misunderstood. They are pretty much judged before meeting or knowing them or before having had a chance for them to show their worth --- much like many groups are nowadays. I truly want to make a difference for their innocent spirits and for those other groups too, if I am able. Every little bit helps - one small step at a time. :-)

We have all been through so much in life and there is just too much negativity in the world. I am hopeful to be part of a kindness movement and to take my second chance - my "sad song" that was made better - and share that kindness and joy with others. And, if we change some minds about not judging a book by its cover, about looking at the core of someone/something's soul for their beauty, and about reminding people every chance you can with every means possible that they are special and they brighten your day, then we are on the right path.

Maybe we can help them not carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. Will you join me?
