Day 18. Just Three Pencils

Hello Friends! Welcome to Day 18. How are you? I hope you don’t mind that this will be a quick post today.

I love all of the trendy macrame wall hangings and I just had to color the large wall hanging from the “Macramade With Love” stamp set.

Using only three  Pablo pencils I was challenging myself by not adding a forth color.

This might be the first time I have ever used only three colors and to be honest it was fun! Of course my sharpener was pretty busy and a sharp tip makes a huge difference as most of you know.

I stamped the “Macramade With Love” with Skeleton Leaves ink on some toned Grey paper.

That’s it for today and wishing you a wonderful weekend. See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    Yet another gorgeous example of why this set is so pretty & versatile. Admire that you stepped up to the 3 colour only challenge & made such a gorgeous piece with it. Very impressed. Can you remind me, without me going back through colour challenge posts which pencil sharpener it is you find the best to work with ? I know many people have different preferences, but I’m getting to the stage where I seem to be struggling to find a decent sharpener. If anyone reading has suggestions please feel free to add in. Stay safe and healthy everyone x
