Would you like to see an easy way to add texture to your flowers??
But first, did you know that this post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from CALY’s wonderful Blog.
All of the Craft Your Life Project Kits are so beautiful and this Silk Art one is no exception! But, what I love about the kits the most is the versatility. You have all the pieces you need to create with whatever technique you want!
Today I wanted to colour with the Woodless Coloring Pencils but, I also wanted to add some texture….
It was easy to do, as this set has a co-ordinating embossing folder! So, once I stamped the bouquet in Pale Mauve and then coloured directly overtop I was able to run it through with the embossing folder.
I then added a sentiment from the Magnolia Ballerina Stamp Set die cut with a Halftone Circle.
Never want to miss a kit? Did you know that you can Subscribe to the monthly Craft Your Life Project Kits? ….Just Sayin.

Therese, I was recently told in so many ways that having all the pieces in a suite of products was beyond the reach of crafty budgets – but just look at all the ways one can use the pieces and parts alone – or together so beautifully!
You’ve made the point so beautifully, too! I’m off to try this with the Ballerina – it’ll keep ME on my toes!
Gorgeous pencil coloring, my friend – extraordinary card!

I always love your pencil work. Beautifully done.
Absolutely gorgeous, Therese! I am not really very good at colouring, especially with pencils. However, I am very encouraged to try again.
You’re always an inspiration Therese. I don’t have the pencils but will play around with products that I have. Love that Altenew creates these products to work together, can’t wait to try them.
Wow! Beautiful pencil coloring! Love this card!
LOve the embossed stamp and beautifully coloured

I”ve colored on the embossing but never colored and then embossed. It looks terrific and I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration, Therese.

Beautiful work! I may in sensory overload at the end of this blog hop!
Just beautiful! Love to see a video of this. 😉
I agree with Tammy B, Therese! I look forward to the new releases every month, just to see what beautiful creations that you share with us. Please make a video for this set 🙂
Gorgeous card Therese! Beautiful colouring with the pencils!
Therese, I love your beautifully colored card. So pretty.
Delightful card, Therese! I love the extra dimension that you were able to achieve by running your beautiful work through with the embossing folder.
Gorgeous pencil colouring Therese!
Love the way you used colored pencils to create this beautiful card, as well as the dimension you achieved using the embossing folder. Love it when the stamps and stencils match the embossing folders. Thank for sharing!
Stunning effect Therese, never thought to stamp, colour and then emboss the image, beautiful. Question do you use 80lb Neenah so the card front doesn’t crack?
Yes, I prefer the lighter weight 80lb Neenah for that reason, thanks Aileen x
I love the pencil coloring! GORGEOUS FLOWERS!
Hi Therese, you’ve nailed it again, beautiful cards, tips and hints.
Many thanks
Rene from OZ x
