Yesterday I pulled out my new Inktense pencils and tried them out.
I thought this Unity image would be the perfect one for my first project.
I first added a soft wash to the background by applying water to the base piece and then adding some very watered down color.
The image was stamped in Versafine and then colored by just pulling color off of the pencil tips with a brush. Once that was done I added the horizon line and stamped the sentiment.
I do love how bright the colors are, can't wait to use these again!
Have a great weekend!
