Thinking Snow!

After last Saturday’s snowfall (Oct 10th), although it mostly melted away by late evening, it’s somewhat difficult to think of doing Fall projects! Because I was thrusted into a wintery-frame-of-mind I decide to begin coloring the SNOWMAN TRIO from Saturday’s New Release Images.

I chose Prismacolor pencil colors to coordinate with my paper collection which makes coloring each images details much easier. Beginning with the body I used color numbers: PC1068-French Grey 10% in combination with numbers: PC1015-Bleu Deco, PC904-Light Cerulean Bleu, and *PC902-Bleu Marine (*use sparingly) in that order and a touch of PC928-Blush Pink for the cheeks.

Their accessories were done in a variety of other Prismacolors, working from light to dark - numbers: PC1014-Deco Pink, PC993-Hot Pink, PC994-Process Red, & PC923-Scarlet Lake, PC934-Lavender, PC1008-Parma Violet, PC1004-Yellow Chartreuse, PC913-Spring Green, PC912-Apple Green, PC909-Grass Green, PC1011-Deco Yellow, PC918-Orange, and PC946-Dark Brown (don’t forget Colorless Blender PC 1077!). I hope by giving you the Prismacolor numbers, it helps anyone wanting to create the same effects. Also, if you are just getting into using Prismacolor pencils these numbers are a good beginning to purchase.

I also added some flocking to one of the caps and ear muffs using a Quickie Glue Pen by Sakura and a plastic rhinestone for the center of the star. The top hat was done in Prismacolor numbers: PC1060-Cool Grey 20%, PC1063-Cool Grey 50%, and PC935-Black.

I laid out a variety if image sizes before printing and glad that I did, because it was hard to choose which size I liked best and which size I wanted to use on cards … I even did 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ and they still turned out darling – hmmmm, think I’ll make some gift tags up too!

Hope you’re inspired … Toodles from Doodles!
