These are lovely. I like the stamp Words to Live By and how you used portions of it on the cards.

Terrific pencil colouring Christine and love both the mandala and the flower images which really pop on the dark card. Three beautiful cards! x

I love coloring with pencils, although I never think to use them when working with stencils. Gorgeous idea!

I was captivated by your first card with its colors. The combination of vivid colors with the gray of the background looks wonderful. In the second tab, I love your bold ombre flowers. It looks amazing.

WOW what a great effect! I never think to use pencil on black and it always works so well! These are gorgeous in your vibrant colors. Thanks again for the inspiration!

These are all so beautiful, Christine. The colouring on gray and black backgrounds really makes the colours pop, especially with the white outlining. I love the mix of colours you've used for shading! xx

Wow, what gorgeous cards and a cool technique, Christine!
Love how you colored the white-outlined Mandala and flowers on black cardstock with pencils! The off-the-edge design of Mandala is wonderful and softening the background with white pencil is a really nice touch. The vibrant flower cards are so pretty too! Thank you for showing us how the pencil strokes are softened with the white or blender pencil!
