Bloggers Challenge Happy Fall Ya'll

  This week I took a beginners class with  Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol at The Cottage Stamper in St Charles, Illinois. It is not a huge store, but there is ALOT of great stuff packed into their space.

   I have had a set of the pencils for 10-12 years, and they have been dusted off finally!  This is my fall card we created in the class with a stamp by Northwoods.

  A couple of things I love- the leaves of the sunflower are outlined with a glue pen called Quicky Glue by Sakura and glitter sprinkled on.  I love this look- and I have a lot of glitter to use.  In the centers of the flowers, we applied glue and then used Barbara Trombley's Elements- this is a great earthy look- I love it IRL.  There is some applied to the wheat stalks as well.
  I am starting to work my way through the book  Masterful Color Vibrant Colored Pencil Paintings Layer by Layer by Arlene Steinberg. The first exercise I am going to work on is taking Prismacolor Pencils and make my own color wheel.  Once I do that, I am going to figure out a chart (like my Copic chart) by color for the Prismacolor pencils- I have not found one yet, so may have to create one.  It will help me in the long run to learn which pencils will look good together as well.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy a wonderful fall day!
