The end of January brings us to our second Squirrely Challenge, using the Pencil Resist technique from the December 2010 issue. All you need are some good stamps, colored pencils and some distress inks!
The hard part for me is coloring the images in, not my strongest area of stamping. Then you have to pick colors that will enhance the colored part of your image, not always and easy task. Usually a color wheel helps me - I have a small one pinned up on the bulletin board by where I work. I usually find using complimentary colors works well, the colors across from each other on the wheel. (yellow & purple, red & green). Also working with a triad or tetrad works well, usually the back of your color wheel will help explain all of this.
