Sandy again you are the TOP of the list in my book!
SQUEAL!! Such a BEAUTIFUL Card and Design!! THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!! =)
You really are magic with a colored pencil. I love this whole look, and it’s cards like this that are the reason I have a nubbin of a white pencil. 😀 Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
So pretty!
Gorgeous card! I love the black and white design!
So elegant, striking and serene. Love this so much. I could imagine it as a really beautiful sympathy card. Love what you did with this fabulous stamp. Gorgeous job. Hugs, Wends xoxo
What a beautifully stunning card! Love the black and white and your tips and info in the video!
Love this. So pretty.
What an elegant card! Gorgeous in white only!
I FINALLY bit the bullet and bought the Bostitch Quiet Sharp 6 on sale on Amazon for around $18 – it is AMAZING!!!!!! It’s huge, but quiet and stops automatically when the pencil is sharpened and it actually sharpens the pencils to a nice, sharp tip. Sandy, thanks for the advice and I will start listening to you sooner!!!
Stunning card! The white pencil on the black cardstock is so elegant looking. Thanks for demonstrating your technique for this.
Another gorgeous card!
What a gorgeous card! I really love the look of the white colored pencil on black cardstock 🙂
Simple yet stunning!
Stunning! You are one of my coloring idols, I LOVE your creativity, this card is amazing!
This is a real stunner Sandy. Such beautiful pencil work and a gorgeous flower stamp. L♥VE!
wow ! this is stunning !!
I love peonies and your card is just stunning ! So elegant in black and white ! Really beautiful work. Thanks so much for sharing and for inspiring. x
Lovely effect and visual Easter lesson that The
Light of the world has risen and overcomes death and darkness
This is very beautiful! Love this design idea.
Gorgeous! And fairly forgiving… I remember doing something similar when I first got my Prismacolors years ago, of course without the benefit of technique or skill… but it still came out pretty! I haven’t tried it again since, but I’d like to knowing much more about pencil coloring now than I did then 🙂
Wow! This is beautiful! What a great way to use this gorgeous stamp!
This is stunning, Sandy! Fabulous video tutorial.
Ooo . . . this is gorgeous! Black and white can be such an elegant combo, and it definitely is here!
