Hey there stamping friends!
Today and am sharing with you how to color with the Journey Color Burst colored pencils from Fun Stampers Journey.
These pencils were a big part of the reason I was so excited to become a Journey Coach. These pencils are artisan quality. They blend beautifully. There are 48 of these lovelies in the tin. They come with a chart for you to match the colors to the Fun Stampers Journey colors. I could go on and on, but lets share a card or two made with these amazing pencils.
I used four different pencils to color in the puffer fish (017, 018, 011, 013). The key to getting a blended look with these pencils is LIGHT LAYERS. Use a light touch, build up the colors in layers. Coloring with the pencils should not be a race, it's more like a relaxing stroll in the park. Think of it as relaxing, a fun leisure activity. Take your time and make something cute, bring the stamped image to life.
These pencils are designed for blending, you will find tints and shades of colors that allow you to get that graduated blending from one color to the next. These pencils are also designed to match the 50 beautiful colors that FSJ has to offer. So when you color your image you know that you can match it up to your ink and card stocks. In the lid of the pencils is a chart telling you which pencil or pencils to use to achieve each and every FSJ color. These pencils are worth it and won't disappoint.
The cute puffer fish is from the stamp set Oops!, it is a Bloom Benefit ATS stamp set (Artist Trading Stamp, a small set). And Bloom Benefit means that I got it for free for placing a $50 order with FSJ. You can get the same deal, Bloom Benefits are for coaches and customers a like! Every $50 you spend, you get to choose a Bloom Benefit! Find these exclusive products on pages 8 and 9 in the current Fun Stampers Journey catalog.
When you look closely at this card you can see that I used some Sparkle Silk to add a splatter of shimmer all over my card. Silks are such a fun product to add a splatter to your finished projects. There are 15 Silks in different colors, some have more metallic or shimmer than others. And at $5.95 they are an inexpensive items that can be that special thing that your card needs, the finishing touch.
Look how cute they are, like nail polish!
Instead of just showing you my card, I thought a video was in order to show you how I built up the color on my puffer fish with light layers and the Journey Color Burst pencils. You can also see how I made the background on this card, using PanPastels. And watch how I use that cute Sparkle Silk to add the shimmer to the card. As well as a SECOND card with the puffer fish not shown here.

Awesome video! Thank you Carrie. I was wondering what that cute pinata looking trim was. What a great Bloom Benefit! I love the pencils and am so glad you showed us how to use them. Tina from Oklahoma
