Hello there, today I am sharing a card that I made using Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils. I recently purchased a set of 60 pencils and I have been working on improving my pencil colouring over the past few months.
Here is my card for today:
As several people have asked me for a video on how to colour with the pencils, who am I to refuse! I hope that you enjoy watching. Please bear in mind, I am learning, so my technique is not perfect, but I hope that you can pick up some hints and tips along the way.
I really do love the way this card came out in the end. I think colouring with pencils can take time and you need patience, but it’s a relaxing way to spend an hour or so, so that can only be a good thing right?
Listed below are the supplies that I used to make the card. Thank you as always for stopping by and I would love to hear any comments you have on the card or the technique.

This is such a cute card Lisa ! And what a perfect colouring ! It seems so simple while watching your video but I’m far to colour like you ! I have to try to colour softly with no pressure to obtain as much nuance ! Thanks for the video and for sharing !
