A little pencil colouring...

Hello all and I hope that you've been enjoying your weekend - and that you've had some lovely warm weather.  We were blessed with lovely sunshine this weekend and rounded it off with a barbecue this evening. It was just so nice, after a busy and rather stressful week, to just relax with my family and enjoy the weather. Tilly the Dog is still with us but is sadly deteriorating rather quickly - although she did enjoy a sausage from the barbecue as I'd promised her we'd cook one specially for her!  Spoilt or what?!  But I would just like to say a heartfelt 'Thank You' for all the lovely supportive comments you've been leaving about my poorly pooch.  It means so much to know that people are thinking about her (and me!).

Anyway, as I was in need of some retail therapy I decided to treat myself to two tins of the new Spectrum Noir pencils and I've really enjoyed doing some colouring with them.  I always find colouring is therapeutic - whether it's with watercolours, pens or pencils.  This was my first attempt with them

I've used one of the b&w images from LOTV and coloured it only with the pencils and some blending solution - and it felt a bit odd to not use my pens lol! 

The backing papers and sentiment are from LOTV and the sheer ribbon is from Joanna Sheen.

I've used a border die from Joanna Sheen too.

Hope you like it! 

Many thanks for all your support - and your lovely comments.

Back soon,
