Doodling with Debby: Pencils On Kraft
Hi friends! Happy Saturday! Please welcome back the always amazing and inventive Debby Hughes in the latest installment of our monthly “Doodling with Debby” feature! Take a walk down this Winter Wonderland beauty and enjoy!
Hi, it’s Debby here for my monthly Doodling With Debby video feature on the Simon Says Stamp blog and for today I’m using pencils on kraft for a softly colored icy snowflake card using the Outline Snowflakes set along with the Merry dies and Tiny Words Christmas set.
I used a piece of 100lb Neenah Desert Storm card and stamped the Outline Snowflakes cling mount set in clear embossing ink. This gave a tone on tone guide on which to color with Faber Castell Pencils.
After coloring, I placed the kraft card back in the Misti, stamped again with clear embossing ink and this time white heat embossed the lines.
For the sentiment, I colored a piece of white card with the pencils I used for the background and then die cut the Merry die from the colored card. I mounted the word on the shadow die cut that comes with the Merry die set cut from white card. In addition, I stamped the words ‘and bright’ using the Tiny Words Christmas set in clear embossing ink on card colored again with a pencil and then white heat embossed. I added the two sentiment pieces to the background with foam adhesive.
I added the kraft panel to a white card base and then accented with Starry Night Sequins, Silver Glossy Dots and Simply White Crystal Drops before adding a little more shimmer with a Sparkle pen.
Thanks for joining me today, and I’ll see you next time for Doodling With Debby.

Thanks so much for stopping by and thanks to Debby for being our guest!
I love this, Debby!
Very pretty!!! Love the soft colors and thanks for sharing other ways of colors on kraft cardstock. I need to start on Christmas card soon :) . Thanks again for sharing your gorgeous card!
This beautiful card looked complicated until I watched your video, Debby. Now I feel confident to give this technique a try. Thanks for the inspiration!
A very pretty card. I love the blues and whites with the card stock.
Beautiful card. I am instantly drawn to images or text that has a dark outline of some color and inner lighter shade of the same color. Usually I love pastels done this way but your white is really beautiful. And so easy by embossing after coloring. I’m digging out my colored pencils to give it a go.
I’m really loving this card. So pretty
So pretty! I need to check my stash and see if I have any snowflakes that would work for this technique. Or just figure out another way to get the same look.
Love the blues with the kraft. Such a lovely look and picked out with the embellishments and sentiment.
Beautiful card. Love the kraft paper.
That’s super cool! :)

Lovely! I love how you used that snowflake background and it is very inspiring – I am waiting for mine to arrive any day now! That kraft background is such a lovely, soft look too.

Wow, that looks amazing. I am trying to learn as much as I can so I can make some cool cards with my colored pencils. SO PRETTY
This is so beautiful Debby and I love that you shared other options for colouring on the kraft cs with other white mediums, this is something I often forget. I can see myself stamping this off to colour while on the go as you only need to tote minimal supplies. Beautifully done!
