I can't remember when was the last time I actually played with my coloured pencils. Ever since I had my Copics, my poor coloured pencils were neglected. Until I saw this and this video I wasn't convinced I could achieve beautiful effects with coloured pencils too!
Tools and materials used: Stampendous Snowy Short Stacks Stamp, Hero Arts CL105, Prima Clear Script Stamp, White Chalk ink, Colourbox Fluid Chalk in Dark Brown, Versamark, Coloured pencils, Liquid Applique, Heart Punch, Glossy Accent
Coincidentally I had the same set of clear stamps that I bought last year! I was planning to use Copics on them, but I changed my mind and decided to try the technique as demonstrated in the video. I must say I'm super pleased with the results. I think I'm going to use my coloured pencils more often now! :)
Ooh I really love the plaid patterns on the winter jacket! The colour pencils gives a nice texture to the reindeer too! And can you see the fluffy white collar? It's liquid appliqué... unfortunately the photo doesn't show it too well but in real life it's really cool! A nice 3D touch to a flat image :)
What do you think of the scarf?? I wouldn't have thought colour pencils could achieve this effect!
The little heart window with a message on the inside of the card :)
I'm submitting these to Scrappy Saturday Challenge #28- Cute Holiday Cards and I'm sending the little penguin card to Caring Hearts Card Drive organized by Vera (Ling) !

Oh - these are GREAT!!! Funny, I've always thought colored pencils achieve such a wonderful dimension that isn't always easy to get with copics, so I'm the complete opposite. However, they take FOREVER, and I'm lazy. End of story there. ;)
I LOVE liquid applique!!! LOVE IT! Use it a lot!
yes, the colour pencils effect look superb on the reindeer! You must be having fun colouring the images and seeing lovely result after that.. (well, the thing that I enjoy most in making a card is the colouring part..)
