My first Prismacolor Pencils Colouring

Hi All,

So I had to join the Perfecting Pencil class with Alyce at Kit and Clowder, when I got my Prismacolor pencils for Xmas.

This is my first class lesson with them. Just took me time to find time to start!

Enjoyed it, but very different to using Copic makers!

Here she is finished and on the card that was part of the lesson to put together.

Enjoy, Bec xxx

Create and Learn December Marker Class

Hi All,

Here is my finished Creat and Learm Marker December class, which I finished before the 15th of the month deadline. I have just forgot to post it here!

Loved this one with the fireworks, water reflection, concrete wall and sequins dress and purse!

Digi stamp was Harbour Bridge by The East Wind. Monthly class was from Kit and Clowder. Coloured with Copics.

This is my 2nd class that I have finished, which has been a great experience and definitely gives me the encouragement to move forward and give each of these ago without the feeling of being overwhelmed.

After I took this photo, I lightened up the pink reflection on the water. It was a bit too bright!
