Real Stamping Issues - Stamping Techniques
Okay so am I the only one that is getting tired of those by this watch
at a discount rate and all of those emails? I want to generate some chatter amongst the stampers so. . . . here we go. I am participating a swap right now and it is a technique swap. You have to use either prisma pencils or chalk pencils. So which do you prefer? Prisma colored pencils or chalk pencils? I am having a real difficult time with this. I usually don't but here I am struggling. Arggh I hate that. So what would you do?

Real Stamping Issues - Stamping Techniques
I've never used either. I imagine that chalk pencils are similar to regular
pencils but create a chalky look. For some reason I never have good luck coloring with pencils. Maybe you could share your techniques with us. Kare -- wrote in message ...

Real Stamping Issues - Stamping Techniques
Hi Kare,
The chalk pencils are similar to prisma colored pencils or what ever type you have. All you do is outline your picture and with a q-tip you pull the color in and the outside stays darker and you get an awesome blended color. Clear as mud? Yea I know you have to see it to believe it. I love the chalk pencils, less mess and all of the fun. Ha ha ha ha I have a real hard time with the colored pencils, like the water colors, but then I can get a blended look and well in my head it looks like I know what I am doing. What do you use?

Real Stamping Issues - Stamping Techniques
I've never used the Prisma pencils, and have only used chalk pencils
once at a workshop during a stamp convention. I have a palette of chalk squares that I have used on occasion, though. I tend to use markers over chalks for most of the coloring I do (and have dabbled with the Twinkling H2Os a couple of times, too), but for some things, the softness of chalk is just what the image calls for. As an aside, I have in-progress cards for both of you (Missy & Kare) sitting in my craft room. Baby stuff and spring gardening (taking advantage of the sunny days in between spring rains) and the usual housework have kept me out of the craft room, but I hope to get them out soon!!!!! --Barbara aka.

Real Stamping Issues - Stamping Techniques
It looks like I've missed some of the conversations on this group lately.
Wonder what happened that they didn't show up. Hmmm... Question: Do any of you know what the liquid is called that you can use with Prisma pencils to blend them? I've never used it but have heard it's like turpentine but not smelly. You color with the pencils and then brush this liquid on top I guess. I love my pastel palette and bought some chalk pencils last year but haven't used them yet (have to have all the toys, don't we?). I do lots of my cards with markers, rubbing the markers on to a CD and then an aqua painter to pick up the color. I love the watercolor effect.

Hi there, what you are looking for is odorless mineral spirits. I buy mine
at Michael's. I hadn't thought about putting the marker on a CD! That makes so much sense, thanks for mentioning that. -- Kenda (Remove NOSPAM to reply) View my projects @: http://community.webshots.com/user/kendalee101 View my blog @: www.kendasworld.blogspot.com Projects completed for 2008 LO's: 12x12: 8 Cards: 95 Altered clock (in Firefighter theme of course!)

I'm sure lots of people saved those CD's when companies mailed them as
advertisements. Their great for all sorts of things. Thanks for the info, I'll have to check Michael's and Jo-Ann's the next time I get a coupon. ;-) SAD On 5/10/08 5:17 PM, in article , "Kenda" wrote: Hi there, what you are looking for is odorless mineral spirits.

I've been using the watercolor pencils, but not really able to make them
look like watercolors, they look more like pencil marks. I don't think I'm good at the blending part. Then I just think, why don't I just use water color paints?

Real Stamping Issues - Stamping Techniques
Funny I LOVE my twinkling H20's I used them non-stop for a very long
time, then I found the chalk pencils and used them all of the time, then I lost interest in Stamping. Yes you read that right I lost interest. It became a business instead of a hobby, but now I have refound interest and have been playing like crazy. I just need to figure out a way to send pictures for you all to see. Ok I am not braggin because believe you me they are not the nicest, but I did want to share the chalk pencils with creations with you. So, we will see. Any ideas? I like my prisma pencils too, I just wish I knew how to do that technique with the white pencil trick. I will figure it out I hope.
