Yes it is - great tutorial :)
Here are a couple of Sugar Nellie cards I made this afternoon.... the second is coloured with pastel pencils and using sansador and paper stumps, (used pastels because my prisma colours haven't turned up from US and just wanted to try the stumps and sansador out). The first was just coloured in using watercolours. Here goes....
very nice!! fabby colours. I'm still practicing shading.
I made my first cards last night although I have a long way to go before they're anything like all of yours. They're lovely gadget monkey, and wow what great clear images you get from these stamps, I can't wait for my new ones to arrive.
Forgot to say they're on my blog if anyone wants a peek, x
Lovely cards , and a beautiful journal.
Gorgeous cards and journal Amy.
Can I ask what sansador is please and where can I see the tutorial?
Lisa, Inge has just started a thread with a link to her tutorial on her blog. It's a fab tutorial, check it out. Sansador is the brand name for odorless mineral spirits which you use to blend your coloured pencils with paper stumps. It is also called zest-it, which is what I use.

Afternoon all.....well i've just made my first Sugar Nellie christmas card.......it's quite simple and not up to the standard of cards that i've seen on this thread but i'm very happy with it.......even though i have never used water colour pencils before:wacko::wacko:
Its lovely Laura and the shading is great :)
Don't diss yourself Laura, you card is very nice and you have been amazingly successful if that is your first use of watercolour pencils.
I don't like everything I see on these boards, but I appreciate the skill and creativity of it all. The world would be a very boaring place if we all liked the same stuff.
Well done
