Sweet Centrepiece

I’m really enjoying pencil on kraft cardstock right now; the colours pop more than you might think on a brown base. This line image from Penny Black is called ‘sweet centerpiece’, cardstock is Bazzill kraft and the pencils are Derwent inktense.
I stamped the image off to the side of the panel in archival jet black ink and coloured with a mix of purples and purply-pinks. Some flowers have a base of white with pinks and purples over the top, others have pink first with white blending over the top. The large daisy is a mix of deep red with shading of burgandy. I used three different greens, blending two at a time to get variety on the different plants.
I used a black micron pen to redraw a few lines that were muted by the coloured pencil and also drew a dots & dashes frame around the panel with the same fine tip pen (I used a rectangle frame die as a guide). I splattered some hydrus white paint over the panel before adding the sentiment from PB ‘magical friendship stamped archival jet black.
Wishing you joy and hope this Easter.

This is one of my favorites. Something appealing about a fresh container of flowers. You did a marvelous job of colors on the Kraft paper.
Spring is certainly in the air.

The Inktense Pencils work beautifully as is on kraft card and I love the PB pretty vase of flowers and the colours have come out so vibrant and beautiful Heather, and using a base of white makes them even more intense. I love your fantastic doodled edge too…a brilliant card! x
So pretty. I need to give this technique a try again.
WOW! What beautiful rich colors, Heather! A wonderful contrast with the kraft background!
I would have never guessed this to be Inktense pencils! Wow, what vibrant color! That jar is so well done. Love this. This one is worthy of framing.
LOVE your pencil work on kraft. This bouquet is so gorgeous Heather. Love the addition of micro pen doodling. xx
