Happy Birthday! A Penny Black card!

February 13, 2016 Penny Black, Uncategorized

Hello everyone,
Finally I am able to share my card where I tried to use Vaseline to blend Prismacolor pencils. Judy Krembs Jung shared a video on her facebook showing how Vaseline helps blend colors using Prismacolor pencils. Vaseline also enhances the intensity of the colours using the pencils. I was intrigued. Having both Prismacolor pencils and Vaseline in my stash, I decided to have to give it a go. To be honest, I was skeptic. I thought the colour will bleed and the cardstock will get messy with the Vaseline. But without trying I wouldn’t know, would I? But to my surprise, Vaseline worked very well. I found the colours blended very easily and the intensity of colour was indeed enhanced. No mess what so ever. I simply dabbed off the Vaseline with paper towel. Here is the card for you.

I have used Penny Black’s All Abloom stamp set to make my card. I used MISTI to stamp the rose image on a white cardstock using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink. Then I used Prismacolor pencils to colour. I dipped the pencil into Vaseline box to take a tad bit of Vaseline and coloured as always on the image. I repeated the same with different colours or darker shade and went back to the first colour to blend the colours. Just beautiful colours and blending. I love it. Once I finished one flower or leaves, I dabbed off the Vaseline using paper towel. I did not rub the paper towel but dabbed the Vaseline off. I coloured all the image and then outline all the images to add depth and shading to the images. This makes the coloured flowers and leaves pop. I then die cut a stitched panel out of it, adhered on black card base. The sentiment from Happy Notes stamp set is white heat embossed on a strip of black cardstock. Finally embellished with Metallic Gold 6mm and 4mm sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

    So happy the Vaseline technique worked so beautifully! When I went to the store to buy some there was only one jar left on the shelf. Maybe we started something! Gorgeous card! Love that stamp set by Penny Black.
