TCP Tuesday 116

It's Tuesday, so it must be TCP Tuesday.

This week I'm the Hostess with the Mostess and I'm doing a technique challenge. I'm an old gal, so I like the old techniques. And you know what they say? Every thing old is new again.

So I'm challenging you to use Colored Pencils with Mineral Spirits. Yup. What? Colored Pencils and what? Odorless mineral spirits, or Gamsol. This is how we used to color our stuff before Copics came around. Want to know how to do it? Anna Wight, artist and chicken raiser extraordinaire has a little tutorial.

Here's my take on the technique and I used the sketch from Jen's SFYTT.
I just love the Garden Variety Paper Pack from Cosmo Cricket and I thought it would be perfect here. I was too lazy to open the sewing machine so I doodled the "sewing" around the edge with my Inkssentials white pen.

Want to play? You could win $25 in Cat's Cash!
