I haven't done a Color Challenge in awhile. But since my kids are home thanks to the coronavirus, I needed an excuse for some introvert time. Plus, coloring these adorable hedgies was a nice distraction from the insanity of the world right now. Win-win.

I have a dear older church friend, who also loves to craft. Unfortunately, her hands aren't what they once were and she has a granddaughter who is moving into her craft room, so she is getting rid of all her craft supplies. She's completely heartbroken about it, but called me the other day to offer me a set of lightly used (I can barely tell she used them at all, really) Derwent Inktense Pencils. She gave me a REALLY good deal on them, so I snatched them up. To thank her for her kindness, I made this week's Sketch for her, using the BEAUTIFUL pencils she sold me. I look forward to using these more in the future -- thanks, Judy! 😊 Products Used: MFT Rose Garden MFT Beautiful Blooms MFT Romantic Script Background Derwent Inktense Pencils MFT Premium Dye Ink VersaFine Clair Ink BasicGrey Candy Buttons After making my initial card, I decided this was a good Sketch for a masculine card.

Saw some Tombow Dual Brush Pens on sale and decided to get them while they were cheap. I'm interested in trying to learn brush lettering, but I knew you could also watercolor with them. So, I colored on the solid part of this layering stamp set with a dark and light tone and then go over it with a water pen for a watercolor effect. It has a very vintage feel to it, I think. Pretty pleased with it.

Needed an encouragement card for someone. I love the softness of this card. I'm slowly working my way through my box of new goodies. I think I might need some more stencils in the near future. 🤔 Products Used: SSS Tumbling Leaves Stencil MFT Prayers MFT Sending Prayers MFT Blueprints Studio G Self-Adhesive Gems Distress Inks VersaFine Ink
