Bluebirds and blog hop winner

Hi Everyone,

First let me say thank you to all who did our blog hop this past weekend.  So many great project shares and inspiration.  I hope you found something exciting to try yourself.  So I have compiled all the comments on my blog and the winner is Liz Mullen.  Thanks so much for following my blog and posting a comment.  Please send me an email to StampinNikki@aol.com with your address so I can send you your prize.  Here is the stamp I will be sending to you.

Now let me share with you 2 cards I did using my Prisma color pencils for class this week.  I used 2 stamps from Unity Stamps that had birds.  I wanted to color some bluebirds.  
For the first card I wanted to just use the pencils themselves to blend the colors with each other.  By building layers and adding pressure I liked the texture and blending I achieved in the 2 birds.  The second card I used a blending stump and odorless mineral spirits to blend my pencils.  I colored the edge of the birds and then used the stump to pull the color towards the area I wanted highlighted.  We were able to work on both techniques with these 2 cards.  


Have a great weekend and congratulations again to Liz Mullen for winning my blog hop drawing.  Don't forget to send me an email with your address so I can get the stamp set mailed to you.
