We are back with our part 2 on how to use Derwent Coloursoft pencils, this time with the stunning work and advice from Michelle using the Hobby Art scene it stamps.
Here's Michelle's advice when colouring those stamps:
These are very small stamps and to colour such small areas I use a cuticle stick with a small amount of cotton wool wrapped around the tip.
To make her card, Michelle used:
Hobby Art rubber stamp: Hilltop village
Hobby Art rubber stamp: Tree cottage
Hobby Art rubber stamp: Cottages
Hobby Art rubber stamp: Grazing
Hobby Art rubber stamp: Grazing sheep
Hobby Art rubber stamp: Stile and fence
Derwent Coloursoft pencils
Sansodor 75 ml
Distress Ink pad brushed corduroy
Distress Ink pad walnut stain

Here's a little more info on the cuticle stick idea.
To load the cuticle stick with cotton wool, twist the pointed end of the stick aganst the wool until a few strands catch in the grain. Once caught pull the stick away from the wool and a few strands should come away with it. Twist the cotton wool around the tip of the stick between thumb and forefinger.
Place the pencil colour you are using around the area you wish to colour, dip the cuticle stick in the sansodor and proceed as per Chris's tutorial, changing the cotton wool between colours.
For even finer detail, I use the same technique but use a cocktail stick.

ReplyDeleteI love Hobby art stamps but never thought of colouring that way :)
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the cuticle stick, but I'm not quite clear how it works!! Do you colour onto the page then blend with the dampened cotton wool? I'd love to know, because the effect is gorgeous :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea using the cotton wool on a cuticle stick for getting into small areas.
ReplyDeleteLove both the samples but fave will be the sheep as I have 7 as pets :)
