Best Friends Make Moments More Magical

Hey crafty friends, thanks for joining me today! I have a video up on my YouTube channel today, showing how I made this watercolour background card featuring a sweet little image from RAM Stamps called “Swinging Friends – Girls”.

Check out the video here:

The coloured pencils I used were Arteza 72 coloured pencils in the following shades:

Girl (left):

Dress – peony pink, fruit punch & fuchsia; pockets – fuchsia & plum purple

Tights – spring green

Shadows – smoke gray

Hair – honey, camel brown, burnt ochre

Skin – peaches and cream, apricot

Girl (right)

Top and boots – robin egg blue, Aegean blue

Shorts – flamingo pink & fuchsia

Hair – dark chocolate brown, cocoa brown & cinnamon

Skin – marmalade orange & burnt ochre

Flower – fruit punch & flamingo pink

Swing – sienna brown & cinnamon

I used Daler Rowney cold pressed watercolour paper for my background, and the Nuvo Shimmer powers I used were Atlantic Burst, Blue Blitz and Green Parade.

The sentiment is from a MFT Stamps set called Pretty Princesses, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I hope you’ll check out the video and I’ll see you soon!
