To kick things off this week I started with a Penny Black floral stamp (30-123 Fancy Flowers) that I've been itching to ink up.
I stamped the floral image several times onto white cardstock. Next I colored it with the PITT Pastel Pencils. I started with my darkest colors and then blended with the lighter colors. I did the same for the Penny Black Creative Die Leaves as well. To create the background, I colored around my image with the PITT Pastel Pencils and blended with my fingertip as well as the white PITT Pastel Pencil. I also added a bit of Gesso using my fingertip for additional blending. Finally, to warm up the background, I colored heavily with a yellow PITT Pastel Pencil onto a piece of scratch paper, rubbed my finger on the scratch paper, and then rubbed my finger around the outer edges of my stamped piece to transfer the color. The effect is almost a "chalky" distressed look. I also did this with the brown PITT Pastel Pencil. To finish things off I added May Arts Jute and black pearls.
Now, here's my FAVORITE part about Studio Sessions. Head on over to Elizabeth's blog to see what she's created in the studio!
I haven't seen it yet, and I'm sure it's amazing, so I'm heading over there with ya!
