Tutorial Tuesday: Fall Roses in Prismacolor pencils and Distress Oxides by Leigh!

Howzit Creative Friends!
For today's Tutorial Tuesday I'm sharing how I coloured up Fall Roses using Prismacolor pencils and created a background with Distress Oxides🍁
 
If you missed the release sale then you can add Fall Roses to your collection now while it's FLASH SALE until midnight pacific on Thursday August 23rd!
Enjoy😉


The way I coloured up my Fall Roses and created the background is actually pretty easy to do while giving you a dramatic finished piece suitable for framing or using on your projects.


Start out by creating the background using Distress Oxides, I picked 5 Oxides for my Fall/Autumn colour palette:  Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron and Bundled Sage. 

Smear the inks onto a craft sheet and spritz with water.  Lay an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of mixed media cardstock onto the inks and press and smear the inks around with your hands.  Lift up and dry with a heat tool and then randomly pick up the remaining excess ink droplets to add the extra mottled effect and heat set as you go.  You can even add more colours into the mottled look at this point too. 


Once the cardstock is completely dry size Fall Roses in your favourite software and print the design out directly onto the Distress Oxide background.  Colour the design with Prismacolor pencils in a traditional Fall/Autumn colour palette as well.  I used the same colour combo on the roses and maple leaves and then 2 different green combos on the rose and oak leaves.


 Prismacolor pencils used:
Canary Yellow, Yellowed Orange, Dark Umber, Limepeel, Chartreuse, Grass Green, Peacock Green and Crimson Lake.


I love how it turned out, the colours are so rich and beautiful!  I hope I've inspired you to get into the Fall spirit and colour up your own Fall Roses😉
