This is one of the cards I did at York after some brilliant tuition from Irene on the use of Polychrome pencils. Ooooooooooh I really didn't realise how fabulous they are to use. Think I can feel another addiction coming on!
The Nellie Snellen die cut scalloped circle and the stamp, which I believe is a Cuddly Buddly one, were all from Irene's stash that she took for us to use in York. On the day I made this card if we had gone out instead of crafting we would have been splashing around in the snow not rain!
Other materials used...
- white card for base and matting and layering
- red card
- red pearls and white organza ribbon
- Swiss Dots folder and Scor-pal for embossed frame
Challenges...
- Cupcake Craft Challenge - Round and Round
- Crafty Ann's Challenge - new technique (using Sansador and polychrome pencils was completely new to me - everyone else is probably groaning and saying where has she been all her life? Struggling with watercolours that's where!!)
- Alphabet Challenge - Red

It's really lovely Ann. I gather from the way you use them that polychrome pencils are similar to coloursoft and you know how I feel about those.........
It's lovely that you brought this gorgeous fella to visit us at Crafty Ann's, thank you.

Fabulous card Ann, your colouring is brilliant. Aah so I'm not the only one leading you astry then.:)

Yes Ann - they are the same as Coloursoft and since getting home I've discovered that a huge set of Reeves coloured pencils that Shelley was donating to a charity shop, but was claimed by her mother also work wonderfully.
Beryl you're right your not the only one leading me astray. I'm easily led when it comes to craft stuff!

Hahahahaha! You also do a good job in 'leading' others astray - I'm the proof LOL!!
Must admit I like the effect from polychrome pencils - lovely and soft. He really is a sweetie and we had a lot of fun playing after Irene showed us how.

I'm another one who hasn't got any of those fabby pencils - just some watercolour ones, Inktense and some really cheap Crayola ones. Still, we can't all have everything I suppose - even if we want it. Love this card Ann. I do feel the need for some Nellie Snellen dies coming on though. You temptress.
Thank you for joining in Crafty Ann's challenge.

Hi Ann! Great blog! Thanks for the awesome comment on my card. :)
Ann, I'm glad you all enjoyed your trip to York.
What a gorgeous card you have made. I've never tried Polychrome pencils and sansador but do like the effect. At least you were able to try with Irene's before buying your own as it is disappointing buying things and it's not your cup of tea.
Thank you for taking the time to enter this into the Crafty Ann's Challenge this fortnight. I was lucky enough to be a Guest Designer this month so I am looking at all the lovely creations and seeing how others interpreted the challenge.
Take care and my best wishes, Kym xxx
Cute card Anne, thanks for taking part in the Alphabet Challenge xx
