Altenew PAF Himalayan Poppy release and coloring pencils!

Thank you so much for stopping by on this blog hop to celebrate the newest Paint-A-Flower release. If you are hopping along with us, you just came fromTherese Calvrid and have reached the end! If you would like some more information on the release or the hop, check out the Altenew Card Blog. My post will be focusing on another amazing new product, the Woodless Coloring Pencils. Check out my post about these wonderful pencils and why they are the newest must have in your craft room.

Altenew is adding another product to their coloring line. Honestly, I have been looking for this for such a long time. I love coloring using coloring pencils because I feel that I have more control over the shading. Coloring Pencils are easy to travel and since I do most of my coloring on the go, pencils are typically my go to option.

The Altenew Woodless Coloring Pencils have a nice grip to them and I did not get hand fatigue when using them. The color is very vibrant and was easy to blend. When I first get a set, I swatch my colors. I like the 32 colors Altenew chose to be in this set. There are enough pinks, blues, greens and yellows to color in any image.

In my card example, I colored a previous Paint-A-Flower release: Paeonia Japonica. When I color images, I like large florals so I can really shade and blend. I also start out with the darker shade and get into the nooks of an image. I then blend the dark out to the lightest. To finish off the card, I heat embossed one of the sentiments from the set onto a strip of vellum and added that to the card base.
