Over the weekend I enjoyed a little more colouring therapy with my coloured pencils. This time I dusted off the Faber-Castell Polychromos for my Squidgy Dino coloured pencil video below!
Squidgy Dino Trick or Treater Card
He’s so cute! I gave him a little glow from the open doorway. Looks like he’s on his first stop of the night.
Stamps Used: Squidgy Dino Trick or Treater, Fall Sentiment Set
I stamped the image on kraft card before colouring using Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils*. I’ve been using a new and cheaper kraft coloured card in my last few coloured pencil posts. I wanted to see how well it would perform, and honestly I’m not in love. Hopefully I can get hold of some other papers I’ve had my eye on, as I’m still searching for a real favourite. This one worked okay, but it doesn’t really have enough “tooth”to be able to layer as much as I would like, or to achieve the coverage I’m looking for without using solvent.
