Hi! I’m Fran and I want to show you how to rubber stamp using colored pencils. When
you use colored pencils on stamping you want to get colored pencils that say water colored
pencils to get the effect that you need, any craft store will have several different kinds
of brands. You want to take your stamp, just do your basic ink pad stamp and then use your
colored pencils to color in and it doesn’t have to be real exact, you can color in getting
the image, you can do a little bit darker around for some shading to get the effect
that you need like on the rose maybe do a little bit darker to get a little bit more
of a rose effect and that’s going to end up giving you a effect that looks like this,
those are just three flip flops that have all been colored in using the colored pencils.
With the colored pencils you can also do what’s sort of like a water color effect and that
is taking a stamp like this, using your ink pad stamping it down and then get your colored
pencils, you want to color in, it doesn’t have to be exact but you might want to do
it darker around the edges
and this one like the stamp where it shows sort of a three tone effect here, I’m also
going to do a little bit of green in the middle, get a little bit lighter and then you can
either use a paintbrush with some water or what’s called the blender pen. A blender
pen already comes with liquid in there and you use that, it’s got water in it and as
you can see it will color in the colored pencils and give you a nice sort of water colored
effect and blend it together and that will end up giving you the effect that looks like
this for a nice card and that is using the water colored pencil technique.
