Inking it up crazy Design Team Day!

Hello everyone! I am sorry my post is late, my auto timer did not work! :(

Today is our Design Team Day!! YAY! This time we are all creating a "Man Card" for me that was super hard, my son's best friend is having a birthday { he is turning 13} this week and he asked me to make a card for him using his favorite colors.

 What are they you ask? Black and Grey!! Not alot I can do with that but I did the best I could, so this is my man card {they are mini men lol}!!

I am not totally happy with this card or the picture for that matter!  I hope he likes it !

Materials used:

Wrap it up cartridge

DCWV Paper

Irock

First stamp with Prismacolor pencils

Hello everyone!! I hope you are all having a great weekend so far! I am sorry for being away but things have been super busy and hopefully everything will go back to normal soon!!

Well the other day I decided to buy some prismacolor pencils and some cute stamps and well let me just day it is definatley harder than i thought lol I have never wasted so much paper lol!! Oh well practice makes perfect! I just threw this card together quickly with a digi stamp i colored from the Octopode Factory, I have bought a few of them and I think they are adorable!

Here is my super quick card ( i didn't want to get to fancy, I wanted the focus to be on the cute little stamp).



Ok well this is really the first one I have completed and I kinda sorta like the way it looks but like I said I am just starting to get the hang of it :) What do you think?? I am having some trouble with the skin shading and hair do you have any tips for me?? I would love to hear some of your opinions and any advice on using the pencils!

Ok well I better go back and practice some more!
