Piglets at School with Rachel Vass Designs

Hello everyone!  Well school is winding down now and what better way to thank

the teachers who have continued teaching not only their kids, but often times the

parents as well!  It's a hard job made harder by what's going on.  So, today I've made

a Teacher Thank You card using:

Piglets At School

Let me show you how I made it!  First I chose the elements from the digital stamp

set that I was going use.  I only used 2 elements!  Then I printed them out onto

Neenah 80b Classic Crest Solar White card stock.  I copied and pasted the pencil

image multiple times!

I had a completely different idea in my head that shifted and changed throughout my

coloring process.  I colored the pencils with Copic markers starting with the tops

and bottoms.  I used:  erasers - R11, R02;  pencil wood - E21, E31.

Next I colored the pencils.

I used the following color combinations and did very simple shading:

Red:  R14, R46

Orange:  Y38, YR07

Yellow:  Y08, Y17

Green:  G02, G07

Blue:  B24, B28

Purple:  BV02, BV04

Orchid:  V12, V05

For the sentiment  I first had a box around it, then an oval and I finally decided

to just die cut it with an oval die!

Next I fussy cut the pencils.  This was not difficult and didn't take that long.  They 

are all straight cuts.  Then I took a black water-based marker and went around all

of the edges.

Next I prepared my card using an A2 size top folding white base.  For my

background paper I used "Rainbows" from Whimsy Stamps...so pretty!!!  I cut a

panel of that to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered it to my base.

I adhered my pencils flat to the card front haphazardly.  I wanted them to look

messy and used!...sort of like my work space!!  Then I adhered my sentiment

oval with foam tape.  And that completed my card!

I hope you enjoyed todays tutorial.  I love working with bright colors!  You'll
