Hi there! I have always been very inspired by kraft card stock and recently I have been using colored pencils a lot. Today I wanted to show how to color on kraft card stock using colored pencils. I will also be using an amazing new stamp set from Kraftin’ Kimmie called Ice Ice Baby. The stamp set features three little adorable critter stamps with a winter theme.
I used Crayola colored pencils to color in the mouse image. Some great tips for coloring are included in the video below! I also added some white pen detail over the colored pencil to add some depth to the image.
I stamped down the sentiment and added some white pen detail to that as well. To add some embellishments, I used some sequins from Lucy Abrams. I love these sequins because there are so many varieties of sequins in each pack.
This stamp set will be available on October 10th at Kraftin’ Kimmie. Also, be sure to stop by Facebook and join the live Kraftin’ Kimmie event before the stamps get released!
Enjoy the video!

Your card is awesome Simon. I too LOVE using (and seeing) cards made with kraft cardstock. There is just something about it I really love. I must try using coloured pencils with it. Yours looks amazing. Can’t wait to see the video!
I absolutely adore this card, Simon! Love the craft card stock, the UniBall white gel pen used to highlight and add texture, and the fun sequins. Most of all, it is your coloring I admire and appreciate. You are blessed with a talent for coloring and your work is fabulous!

Hi there, I think I will tackle pencil coloring. Your videos are so filled with technique & tips. Thanks a million!
Super cool card Simon. Love the coloring! I have a ton of Crayola pencils in the house… probably not a lot of shades though… Well done! Love the touch of white and the sequins. I am still just so amazed by your talent! I have a 13-year-old son and I don’t think he could pull this off… the card making, the blogging, the videos! Keep it up young man!
