Loving my Prisma Pencils

 

Hi there crafter's

 

I was on facebook the other week and spotted

a post about Prisma colour pencils and was intrigued.

So I went over and watched the video tutorial  and I have to say

how impressed I was. They looked so easy to use and the effect was really good.

The shading looked totally realistic and so I fancied having a go.

I tracked down on you tube more tutorials to make sure

I,d be able to do the same , then went over to Amazon to order some.

They arn,t cheap but I do now wish I had gone

 for the larger set of over a 100 colours.

The set I opted for has 72 and although a really good selection

 of colours, once you get the hang of it ,

you want more! trust me!! lol

 

So I am loving the effect they give and although I need

to do a lot of practicing I am already finding them so much

easier than water colouring or using my Promarker's.

To me the shading looks more natural.

 

I placed my order for the paper stumps , Sansador fluid and special

pencil sharpener along with the set of pencils.

 As they were coming from America I had to wait a week!!

It seemed forever , especially as the other products came first

 and the pencils a few days later!

The postman must have wondered what I was doing,

 looking out for him! lol

 

But within a couple of hours I had completed these two images,

not too bad for my first attempts and for a change

 I really enjoyed the colouring  part of card making

 which is normally my least favourite part!

 

 



The first attempt was using JAYNE NESTORENKO'S

Farm Boy and Rabbit.

 



 

My second attempt was the new Ballerina image from Jayne Nestorenko.

This design is from a new set of Apple of my Eye collections

and was first seen at the Summer Crafting Show at Doncaster

in July this year and Jayne will be selling it at Stoneleigh this weekend too.

 

I have done some more colouring since then but alas I

can,t share them with you because the are new and up coming designs.

They are gorgeous and as soon as I can share them with you I will .

Believe me it will be worth the wait .

 

Until next time
