 Well, hi there. I'm Sandy Olnok, artist and paper crafter here on YouTube and I'm going to be working with Prisma color pencils today to Color some flowers. It's a stamp set that I was given by Altenew recently and it's so beautiful It has lots and lots of flowers of different angles different sizes And I wanted to make a simple and elegant card, but with colored pencils you can use a small set of pencils using the ones that I used in this and Not have to invest in a whole bunch of pencils Although I know a bunch of you recently bought the full set of Prisma colors. Congratulations for those who got that over on The web during the Christmas season because I know that went on a deep deep deep discount So here is a pencil video for you I'm not going to show you like every flower and coloring every bit of it But I'm going to show you the process for one petal Because that's the same process I'm going to follow for all of the rest of the petals And that is to put down this light purple first and I'm going with really a light touch I'm trying to just get a coat of that down around the edge I'm going to add this more reddish purple and all the colors will be of course linked over on the blog So if you want to see exactly which colors I used and I'm doing that just on the edge of each petal Anywhere there might be a shadow as well if there's a petal that curls I'll put a little extra purple under there and Letting that fade out into that medium purple or that lighter purple in the center of each petal And then the inside is going to be blue coming out over top of this purple layer So you don't want this to build up and get waxy because soon as anything gets waxy You're losing your ability to do some soft blending If you end up with like one single harsh line or something that you need to recover from I try to color around that harsh line if I can because usually it'll leave a dark Lightspace on one side or the other of that dark spot But you can also take a little knife and just flick off part of that and try to not damage the surface of your paper Be real careful You can also try using a kneaded eraser and try to see if you can lift off some of that at all Because sometimes that will will be helpful so next Switching to these blues and you can see that I'm just layering it lightly over top and then I'm taking this Darker tealish blue in the center. So I'm going to let it get darker as it gets toward the middle of the flower You can reverse the colorway Absolutely And each of those petals that has a little flip to it. Those are the blue with the teal green So it's just those two colors And I'm just keeping those colors across the whole card because I wanted all to just feel very calm and unified and yet Really pretty So you can see I'm just going over it in a couple layers really light touches and I'm not doing all one direction or anything I'm kind of going round and round to get this smooth look the centers of the flowers I'm just gonna make the light purple with a little darker purple around the middle that reddish darker purple and Then in the very center, I'll put a little bit of the teal just to add a little pop of contrast in there So then I want to darken around that center area just because I'm going to be using a white pen and I want the white pen to have some real contrast behind it So you need to have enough color in there that the white will show up So if you have a flower that's going to be yellow or a light pink or something on the inside It's gonna be hard for that white pen to show up So you might want to use a silver signal or a gold signal This is the white signal pen that I'm using and if signal pens don't work for you Then use some other gel pen to add the details I know that there's I've never figured out the reason why but for some people the signal pens work great For other people they like other brands. This is just the one that I like and Yeah, so that's the thing I'm just going over top of each one of these little dots I'm adding even a few more Because that's gonna add a lacy detail onto each one of the flowers that may or may not exist already But it's gonna make it prettier as I add just a little bit more of the dots And I'll finish all of the flowers in this very same fashion Now I have a bunch of leaves that are stamped onto the card base and This is all on Nina card stock by the way. So I tend to use that quite a bit For one simple reason is that I have a lot of Nina around all the time I always have some cut and ready to go So it's a real easy one for me to just grab but you can also use bristles and all sorts of other papers too You just don't want anything slick So now I have taken a green and covered the whole leaf with green and I'm using the teal blue color for the shadows And I'm saying teal blue I don't know exactly what the name of that color is but I will have that for you over on the blog but It's the blue greenish sort of dark color. So rather than using a green I'm using a color that was in the flowers that are going to go on top of this and that's going to tie the leaves Together with the flowers and the whole color way on the whole card is going to match And I actually chose this because of this ink that I have stamped my thank you in and it's a W plus 9 ink and it is called falling for blue and even though it's a blue ink It feels a little teal to me like it's got a little bit of teal to it So that's why I chose a blue pencil and a blue green pencil So it's going to help to tie these colors to the colors that have already stamped the sentiment in So I'm adding a little shadow underneath of that flipped turned part of the leaf and you may notice on the flowers The flipped parts all have lines and on the leaves the flipped parts are all solid and the rest of the leaf Has the lines in it So it's an interesting way for them to design the stamps so that they both have the same kind of feel to them But you can definitely get a different feel for the leaf texture because it has all the lines across the whole thing Whereas the flower just flowers just had them In the parts that are turned up So I finished coloring all of the flowers and all of the leaves And then I just had to sit and fussy cut my flowers And that was just done with a pair of scissors and then I started laying them out on top of the leaves to see What kind of an arrangement I wanted something cascading at an angle down the card And I have some adhesive on the back of them That's of course not sticky yet because these are power tabs might one of my favorite Adhesives they're super sticky and they're a little thinner than the foam tape I do like them quite a bit and then I'll just start to place them now that I sort of have my general layout and Stuck them all down. How pretty is that? Isn't that gorgeous? I love how the colors all match together Because I use the same ones or that same teal green on the leaf that I used on the flowers just makes everything feel like it belongs together and It's just such a pretty stamp set so Hope you enjoyed this if you did make sure you hit that like button You can also subscribe if you haven't yet because I put out about three videos a week and would love to share more with you And on screen I have a couple of other pencil videos So if you are a pencil aficionado and would like to see some more pencil work You can watch any of those you can click to the blog and get lots more information You can find pinnable pictures so you can save the idea for when you get the stamp set and I will see you guys next time Have a great day
