I'm stepping out of my comfort zone today with a little scene that has "no color."
I started by stamping this lovely image from Sheena's A Little Bit Scenic - Provence onto Peddler's Den craft card stock. Next, I added highlights and the lightest areas in the scene with a white pencil. I then came back in with a black pencil and shaded the darkest lines/areas.
Sheena has all the detail in the image which makes identifying the light and dark areas quite easy. What a simple method, yet striking effect against the craft cardstock! Try it!! It's very easy! I learned this fun technique from my stampin' sister Tonya, owner of Peddler's Den. We were together a couple weeks ago at the 2013 Stampscapes Yahoo Group Stamping Retreat.
