The new “Macramade With Love” stamp set from Gina K. Designs was one of those love at first sight stamps. I knew a few strokes of a pencil and a little time I would be in that coloring meditative state.
Gina’s Skeleton Leaves amalgam ink is darker than my usual Warm Glow . I stamped the “Macramade With Love” with the Skeleton Leaves ink.
Trying out a new a Toned Grey paper that’s 184lb. and I am really loving it.
Often I mix up my coloring with different types of pencils but, not today. I like how I can get a harder line with the Pablo pencils. With that said most pencils work great if that tip is super sharp. I am constantly sharpencing my tips especially when coloring with lines.
In the end I decided to forgo a sentiment for now or use one of Simon Says Stamps sentiment strips when a particular need arises.
Sorry I haven’t had time to do any videos and hopefully this helps a tiny bit. Don’t forget SHARP pencils is the ONLY way to go.
Have a great day and I will see you tomorrow yet again. Always a big thanks for the visit. Hugs, Kathy

Wow I haven’t seen cardstock that heavy! The grey is beautiful. Is the white pencil, or pen? Also I notice you made the white highlights on the opposite sid of your black shadow. Thank you for explaining what you do!
