I used the Faber Castell Pitt Artist pens and the Stampers Big White Pitt Artist pen.
I stamped Tilda on hot press watercolor paper with Ranger Archival Black ink, watercolored her by coloring the pens on my stamp a ma jig imaging sheet and picking up the color with a waterbrush. I’m delighted with how easy it was and the look I achieved!
Skin – Light Flesh 132
Cheeks – added water to Pale Geranium Lake 121
Hair – Raw Umber 180
Clothes – added water to Magenta 133
I did go in and shade the skin and hair with the markers direct to the paper. The brush tip is really thin and lends itself to details easily!
After I cut Tilda out, I went around the cut edge with the black marker. I LOVE it! Good coverage and No bleeding!
For the grass… this was fun! I started with Light Green 171, making strokes for the blades of grass with the marker tip and then watercoloring a little under them with the scribbled ink and waterbrush. Next I added Leaf Green 112 blades of grass and then Permanent Green Olive 167. Awesome markers for blades of grass!
I do have a ‘thing’ for little white flowers! : ) The Stampers Big White pen came in quite handy to add little dots to the patch of grass for flowers! What a great pen!
I also made my own polka dot paper! See the blue strip on the front… cute! Depending on how hard you push down, is what size of dot you get! The flower dots are teeny and the dots on the strip are big! Love it!
The Clouds are the Puffy Clouds die from Memory Box, edged with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and the ink blending tool. Two EK Success Nesting punches for the sentiment… 1 3/8th in and 1 1/2 in.
You all know I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Perfect Layers Tools! (enter code, ‘Sparks5%’ at checkout)
What a time saver! Mat your creations in a fraction of the time it takes to get them even with a trimmer! YEA! I have the set of three… yes… it’s great to have them all! You just never know when you’ll need them! On my card today I have the 1/16th inch mat and 1/8 th inch mat.
HERE is a video tutorial I made using Perfect Layers Tools! A few tips on it… I cut standing up…works the best for me with the full size x-acto knife blade, #11 size. I love the Fiskars fingertip knife… link below.
Here’s the inside of my card…I wanted to show you that the Perfect Layers Tools work for a random look too! I had the piece of blue left but not the right size… oh well… use it, I told myself! so I did! lol Worked great to use the larger measurements on the rulers. This is a 5 1/2 inch square card.
So glad you stopped by! I love sharing the coloring mediums and tools I love to work with! I hope you’ll try these tools too! You won’t be disappointed!
Here’s a list of the other blogs with posts for the HOP! Enjoy! Comment and good luck!

Wow, what a list of products! Tilda looks adorable, your coloring beautifully done. I am new to both products featured in this hop and have enjoyed all the tips along the way.
This is just delightful!
First of all, WOW, this is a fantastic card!secondly, thanks for listing which pencils you used to created each part because it helps to see how the color comes out, especially with the grass. I love that you thought to use the white pen to create both flowers and polka dots, I never thought to try it that way, I always used it for journaling in my art jour al over layers, but this is another fantastic use. I have never had the pleasure of using any of Perfect Layers products, but after seeing what you created I certainly hope to win some to use! Thanks again for sharing.
Sweet card! Amazing coloring, and the Perfect Layers tools sound fantastic! Also love the dots from the Stampers Big White pen…. gotta get one!
Love your card…super cute! Thanks for sharing how you used the products!
Tilda is so cute jumping for joy. Beautiful card and coloring Pam! I just did some watercoloring myself a couple of days ago and had fun. I got my perfect layers years ago and I just love it too–would highly recommend this great product!
