During our recent crafting retreat Susan (Cardmaker's Garret) walked us through using coloured pencils with Gamsol. I wanted to see what would happen if I used pencils on coated card, it certainly lightened the colours and made the colour move easily around on the card stock.
I used this cute guy from Katzelkraft, he's looking a little blue today.
I'm entering this for the following challenges

Love that sweet little critter! You coloured him perfectly with the pencils and gamsol on the coated cs - I must give that a try! Great grounding underneath him. And a perfect CAS card!
Thanks for checking in and I love seeing your comments.

I was thinking...I have seen that cute critter before...of course, at our retreat:-) That was such a fun technique. I already posted my tag using the technique and your poppy flowers image. We sure did have fun sharing supplies and learning techniques:-) I miss all you girls. Love and Hugs...
How adorable is this little fella! Your pencil colouring is so pretty. I’m surprised how well pencils work on coated cardstock... great job!
This is bound to bring a smile to the face of the recipient! Beautifully colored! I see I need to get some stumps. I've always used a swab but it's hard to get a smooth look.
This guy is so adorable ... even if he's feeling a little blue today. :) Wonderful colouring with the pencils Christine. I haven't tried it on coated card stock, but will give that a try. xx
And I'm still smiling because I love this zebra from Katzelkratf. Your CAS card is amazing, you have beautifully combined the picture with sentiment.

This is an lovely image, coloured so sweetly. Anyone would love to receive him in the mail! Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
Great experiment with your colored pencils and Gamsol on coated card, Christine! Your light coloring is perfect for this feeling-blue guy! He's so adorable! Hideko
Gorgeous shading using these Polychromos! I'm so fond of Katzelkraft crazy stamps too. You did a fantastic job grounding him to- something I often forget to do. This is such a great, fun card!
Love your crazy blue critter with the sweater! What a fun image - it made me smile as soon as I saw it! Thanks for playing along over at The Paper Players this week!
The colouring looks great on the coated card and what a fun image....wonderful card x
Sorry for the late visit, Christine! Your amusing blue polka dotty critter is beautifully colored! I remember this one in person and I liked the softness of the coloring on coated card. But, honestly, he looks a bit ticked to be wearing that sweater!! Hugs, Darnell
Christine your animal is indeed beautifully coloured, if rather wistful looking for a birthday card - it would be perfect for someone who no longer wants to be reminded 'how old?!'! Thanks for playing along with my theme challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
I love this image and you colored it beautifully. Great shadowing to ground him, too! So glad you joined us at the paper Players this week

First, I love this little cutie image. 2nd - your gamsol & pencil skills look fabulously. 3rd - you ladies were having so much fun together, and it really showed in your picture.
