Doodling with Debby: Spring Pencil Coloring on Kraft
Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! I hope your week is starting out well so far! As always, I’m delighted to welcome back the forever fabulous Debby Hughes back for her latest installment of Doodling with Debby on our blog! Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!
Hello, it’s Debby here for my monthly Doodling With Debby video feature here on the Simon Says Stamp blog. Today I’m coloring with pencils a sweet springtime scene using the Showers & Flowers stamp set.
I love the look of pencils on kraft card, and I think the kraft card on this occasion adds a lovely homely feeling to this springtime scene. I stamped the welly boots image from the Showers & Flowers set in clear embossing ink, then cut a mask from Inkadinkadoo Stamping Mask paper and then stamped the rabbit as if he’s sitting behind the boots. We have two white rabbits, and I can fully believe that this cutie has been up to mischief and knocked over the flower-filled welly boot!
I colored the scene with Prismacolor pencils. I mainly used three shades of pencil for each color along with a white pencil for highlights.
When the coloring was finished, I added white gel pen details for the polka dots on the boots and also to add a few highlights to the flowers. I also darkened the eye of the rabbit with a black glaze pen.
For the sentiment, I stamped the ‘Thanks’ from the Showers & Flowers set in clear embossing ink, sprinkled with white embossing powder and then heat set. I also stamped a coordinating sentiment from the Thanks stamp set on Surf Blue card and white heat embossed before trimming to a banner.
I cut the kraft panel with a Wonky Rectangle die and foam mounted on a Neenah Solar White card base. I also foam mounted the Surf Blue sentiment and then finally added a trio of Sweet Shop sequins to finish.
Thanks for joining me today and I’ll see you next time for Doodling With Debby.

Lovely card and fantastic colouring! Love the fancy wellies vase!
I am enjoying learning more about color pencils. This image and sentiment are adorable!
Gorgeous card and colouring Debby, I love that wellie boot image. xx
I never would have thought to use the white pencil first like that! Beautiful card!!!
Debby, it’s gorgeous! I love the way you colored all of it but the bunny is amazing!
Gorgeous and great video
So cute! Love that the little mischievous bunny tipped over the boot. Beautiful coloring.
What a great tip about using a brush for pencil dust! I had never heard that before. Also using the white pencil first was quite a surprise but it certainly worked like a charm. I will have to try these tips as I dug out my own pencils. Thanks for all the great tips.
The bunnie fits so perfect! And great colours!
Stunning card. Your coloring is just gorgeous.
Love the colored pencils on kraft; it’s magical.
Oh my goodness, that is just gorgeous colouring – it looks hand drawn rather than a stamp
