I wanted my title to mimic the changing color of the Sassafras paper (scalloped border). I used some Studio Calico stamps (love these!) and then colored the images and blended the colors with OMS. Really the title is not that crooked. Apparently, I can't take a straight picture of late.
The title.
And the scalloped border.
All papers and embellishments (sans stamps and pencils) were from the January Apron Strings kit. Trying to use up some of my stash!
So thanks for the tip Gloria! I can't wait to play around more with the pencils. I've already created a birthday card and used this technique on my stamped images.

You did a fantastic job blending! It's a bit tricky to get the hang of. Color in circles, pulling the color from dark to light (or vice versa - experiment). To blend I use blending stubs...the kind you put in markers to replace the nub? My dd had a bunch of dried up pens that the nubs fit into, so I just use them like a marker. I dip the nub/pen into the OMS and then blend away!
Maria, that looks SO AWESOME!!!! How the heck did ya do that? Off to go check out Gloria's blog!!!

Gloria - I bought the blending stubs, love 'em. I keep looking for stamps I can use with the pencils. The Studio Calico stamps are perfect. I foresee many titles created this way.
I'll have to remember the old marker trick.
Loving your color blending job. Looks terrific. I love playing with my prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, too. :)
