Okay on to my card.... I colored her with Polychromos coloring pencils and one Prismacolor. Around the edges of the water and sky I used Distress Oxide. For the Glowing fireflies I used a Sakura Gelly roll and smeared it with my finger, then added yellow Polychromos on top. The sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie stamps. I've been very excited since I fist saw these stamps. I need that I wanted to color them with color pencils to be able to work on blending skin more. I love my Copic markers but sometimes I can't get them to blend the way I want compared to the way I can with color pencils. Yes, color pencils are much slower... it's like a miniature painting but I love it either way and it's so much more relaxing.

I used Polychromos (+1 Prismacolor):
Ivory, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Caput Mortuum, Rose Carmine, (Beige), Cinnamon
White, Black, Cold Grey VI, Ultramarine,
Permanent Green, Hooker's Green, Chrome Oxide Green
Earth Green

Distress Oxide:
Black Soot, Pumise Stone and Broken China.

It's usually a little difficult for me to capture color pencil on photograph 
but here's a pretty good close-up of Nixie

  1. Hi Katya! I love this, it's stunning. And I love the photo you managed to get of the texture, it's so hard to get it without a stupid amount of reflection too, I am inspired to try harder! :) Annabel x
