Picture Perfect by My Favorite Things

Published on May 27, 2021May 27, 2021 by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

MORNING FRIENDS! I’m back with another project featuring the Picture Perfect stamp set by My Favorite Things. I was laid low yesterday by a migraine so this post will be brief. Today I’m playing catch up to get things done around the house.

I’m still playing with my Prismacolor pencils, so today’s project is another colored pencil project. I’m hardly an expert at this, but I am enjoying playing around with color combinations and techniques.

Today’s project features:

Picture Perfect by My Favorite Things
Colored pencils featuring Prismacolor Premier (colors listed below)
Additional basic supplies linked in thumbnails below.
Supplies linked with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

I’m still using Stonehenge Drawing Paper with my colored pencils, but I did learn the hard way (i.e., after messing up my first attempt at this image), that one side of the paper has more tooth than the other. The smoother side didn’t work for me. So now I know that I need to take a closer look at the paper before I stamp it to make sure that I’ll be coloring on the right side.

That’s all for me! I’m running off to get on with my day. See you soon!

Be Creative How-Tos

For the card base, cut a piece of Neenah Classic Crest 110# cardstock to 4.25″ x 11″ and score at 5.5″ for a top fold card.
Cut a piece of solid cardstock to 4″ x 5.25″ (I used Limelight Prestige Cardstock by MFT Stamps).
Cut a piece of white cardstock to 3.75″ x 5″.
Cut a piece of pattern paper to 3.75″ x 2″ (I used a sheet from the Summertime Polka Dots 6×6 paper pad by MFT Stamps which has been retired).
Cut a piece of coordinating patter paper to 3.75″ x 1″ (I used a sheet from the Black & White Stripes 6×6 paper pad by MFT Stamps).
Stamp the image from Anita Jeram Be Creative Mini on a Copic friendly paper with a Copic compatible ink (here I used Hammermill Premium Color Copy Cover 100# Cardstock with Hero Arts Intense Black).
Color image with Copic markers (see marker list below and video for additional instruction).
Trim top of image with the Notebook Border Die from Taylored Expressions. Trim remaining image to desired size (mine is approximately 2-5/8″ x 4.25″)
Arrange on card background elements on card front as shown. I applied craft foam to the back of the white cardstock layer and the image layer for added dimension.
