Western Decor

Hello There!!
Western Decor is not my thing however look at these neat rooms that Shirley Q found for us to use for our inspiration for this weeks Inspiration Challenge at Speedy TV.  So pick one of these and join us for a challenge.  I chose the first picture as my inspiration.  Using some of my favorite colors:  neutrals.

Using the Lucky You Stamp Set from Marks Finest Papers, I stamped the image and used prismacolor pencils and blending medium, highlight with a light dusting of glitter.  The torn paper and twine add to the western flair!

Chalkboard Tutorial/Black Velvet Poster Art

Here is a quick and fun tutorial.  

The result is a chalkboard like or those fuzzy black posters that you color with markers.

Using Embossing Ink, I took MFP stamp set Dino News Stamp Set . 

 Stamped the image onto black cards stock. 

 Using Prismacolor pencils and a blending medium, dip your pencil into the medium and color your image. It provides a smooth, smooth blending pencil and wow image. Is it chalk or is it marker?

 Here is the pencils and blending medium.  I just put a little bit in the lid and used it.  I probably should have used something else but it worked.   Like my can of pencils. I try all different things to hold my pencils and keep coming back to an old can!

 Here are couple of examples, using the pencils and blending medium...
