The Ellen Hutson Summer of Stamping CONTINUES! Another fun new release is upon us since it’s Monday….and this time it’s a partnership with Avery Elle…critters in a canoe!! I crowded them all in to go for a ride together…and they seem to be getting along so far! ha!

I had the idea to do a nighttime card – but also wanted to color the critters the way most people would too, with a limited selection of colors…so you get BOTH in the video! Look at these cuties called Peekaboo Camp Wanna Stamp!
Daytime canoeing
If I were to canoe, it’d sure be by day! Colored on cream Neenah, and including just a little bit of water and a few flies buzzing around, it’s a great clean and simple card that’d be great for a guy’s birthday!
I did all this coloring with just four Prismacolor pencils:
Nighttime card
This is the one I don’t know if many will try – but I just had to give it a try once the idea was in my head! I used an old highly-textured piece of navy blue paper (no idea what brand – but something smoother would be easier than this!)….and only TWO pencils!
The blue you choose should be transparent enough that it falls off into the dark paper easily; if it stays too bright that means it’s opaque, and you’ll have a harder time getting the shading to go all the way to dark. There’s a lesson all about this in Colored Pencil Jumpstart if students want to review that for how to pick a color that’ll work well.
For my Copic friends
I also colored this stamp set in markers – you can see this later today on my IGTV!

Your cards are amazing!! These critters are adorable!
Love these camping critters! Love your white on blue card especially!
I love your pencil work and I particularly love the idea of using a dark color with light pencils. I am definitely going to have to give it a try. I will give just about anything at least a try! Thanks for sharing some neat ideas with this stamp set.
Sandy, wow, these are absolutely amazing! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Wow! All of your cards are amazing but I found the nighttime card created with only the 2 pencils very eye catching! Lovely work.
SWOON!! I LOVE these AMAZING Cards!! Always so AWESOME to see the different ways you color the same images!! THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEK!!
Cute scenes with these canoeing critters. I like the day and night versions.
The nightime scene is my favorite. Great color ideas.
I’m always amazed at your artistry. These cards are so wonderful and sweet. I can’t seem to stop looking at the one on navy blue paper — it’s stunning.
These cards are cute. I just love how you coloured them especially the night time scene
Great collaboration! Your pencil work with just a couple of pencils always fascinating… love that glowing lantern on the marker card. Nicely done!
Wonderful coloring and so fun to see the contrasts between the cards!
amazing, as always.
Sandy colouring with ‘pencil crayons’ (Canada eh!) always amazes me. I looks so good and your Copic version too.
WOW, the last one is amazing. I LOVE the glooooowwwwww
Sandy, you are the coloring queen- Color pencils and Copics! I love all 3 cards and really have to try the blue nightime card. So interesting!
Your cards are great! I especially like “canoe believe it”
Cute card. Very different. Thanks for the video’s. It really helps to see it come to life.
I’m speechless! Sandy, you always create the most amazing cards, but these – I can’t even…
You really put your creative hat on for these two cards! Incredible that you only used TWO colors! My fav …
Thank you for sharing of your talents and personality. You are one special lady.
Love your coloring!
Love the dark cardstock background and the coloring to illustrate night time.
Fabulous cards, and I love seeing the difference in the coloring techniques! Those critters are just adorable in that canoe!
Love your daytime and nighttime scenes with these adorable canoeing critters! Fabulous coloring, and your Copic version is amazing with the glow from the lantern! Awesome scenes!
Cute images. I like how you always find a different way to color a stamp. So creative. The monochromatic card is very interesting – I tend to go for lots of color, but this is very eye-catching. Thanks, Sandy for the art lesson. Thanks, Ellen, for the chance to win!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, Sandy. You always rock it! So beautiful!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, Sandy. You always rock it!
As always, your coloring is jaw-dropping. I wish I could have the coloring skills from your pinkie toe because that will already be more than enough
what a super-cool monochromatic design … they look like they are having fun on their Summer of Stamping adventures.
These cards are just amazing Sandy!
You always amaze me with your coloring talents! I can’t decide if I like the nighttime pencil version or Copic version better. They’re all incredible!
Your coloring is outstanding! I LOVE the night one! HOW COOL!
Sandy!!!! You blew me away! I love the daytime card, but the nighttime has my heart!! Off to check the Copic coloring too! Amazing!
Splendid coloring, Sandy! I love all 3 techniques a bit the nighttime super inspires me. Thank you for all the beauty you share!
You are the queen. I adore your cards always. I appreciate you sharing your gift. Love the idea of limited supplies.
Your cards are terrific and these new “canoe” stamps are so cute! I have many happy memories of canoeing when I was a teen.
Both of your cards are great. I really, really like the blue one! The critters are cute and look amazing all together in the little canoe.
the night colored pencil scene was just shocking! i’m filing that technique away for later! curious to see how the marker card was made too!
Sandy, as always, you make it look so easy! I love these, especially the night scene on blue (my favorite color)! But I’m rather jealous — they are all sitting so close together without social distancing or masks! I can’t wait for a time when us people can do that again too!
What?!?! Your cards are amazing! Love the blue one colored using only two pencils. Such a fun set.
Your coloring is amazing!!
Gorgeous!
Oh wow… that navy blue card is just stunning!!!! You are a master at coloring and I love learning from you!
You are SO talented!! Love the colored pencil!
Very fun to see the 2 coloring
These are so wonderful!
