Christmas Candy!

 

I have been wanting to try color pencil on Kraft paper for a long time and finally did it.  I did watch a tutorial first from Kit & Clowder and decided my first try should be something easy to color.  I'm pleased with the results, the colors look so bright and fun.  I be coloring up something else on Kraft paper soon I'm sure.

The stamp sets are from Jaded Blossom, Clear Jar and Christmas Add Ons.  This is such a great idea because you purchase the clear jar stamp and then you can choose the clear jar add on stamps and there is a wonderful variety to pick from.

Coloring done with Prismacolor Pencils.

 I have been a long time fan of Lawn Fawn and this set, Let's Go Nuts, really caught my attention.  During the fall we are overrun in the country with crazy squirrels romping all over and tormenting our dogs.  It only seemed fitting that I use this set for a fall creation.

I used pattern papers to make the sky, grass and the tree.  The squirrels, wagon, leaves, and acorns were colored using Copic Markers which are listed below.  I really am please with how this turned out and I hope you like it as well!

Copics used:
W3, W4,
R05, R20, R56
