I am going to show you how you can make a simple, quick card with a lot of impact that's really colorful and happy!
Let's chat about these amazing Recycled Colored Pencils ! They are fantastic! They are recycled cedar wood and finger joint technology which reduces waste and conserves our environment and forests. Lead is hard and dense for precise details and sharp lines, strong pigment for deep color saturation, blending and layers.
With these fabulous pencils, Stampendous amazing stamps and Embossing Powders you could create an endless variety of projects! I LOVE how the colors POP off the craft paper, and how these pencils give off an intense color!
